Snow causes car insurance claims increase
Tuesday, 21 December 2010 12:00
A 100 per cent rise in car insurance claims was seen by the AA yesterday (December 20th), in comparison to a normal Monday.
The firm revealed it had seen its highest percentage of snow and ice claims on record, with 70 per cent related to the weather conditions.
Simon Douglas, director of AA Insurance, said: "If you take your car out on icy roads, you are at significantly greater risk of suffering a collision."
He added even those who have fitted winter tyres or snow chains are at risk because it won't stop someone else from sliding into their car.
