Accidents or a crash when driving your car can happen to anyone. Whether they’re your fault or not, and whether or not you, or others are injured, they’re a nerve-racking experience, but you should be aware of your legal responsibilities. You may have been driving or parked recently in the snow and another car skidded into you, or drove into the back of your car, in this case you have a non-fault accident claim. The current bad weather causes a wide range of problems for road users. In order to minimise accident risk, drivers need to adapt their driving to the road conditions. Do not to leave your vehicle unattended, with the engine running to defrost and warm up, during the current freezing weather. Thieves are increasing targeting cars left unattended in this way. Fleet operators are asking for ‘complete’ solutions for their accident and risk management and increasing their use of professionals such as Car Magic and our sister organisation Non-Fault Car Accidents. The average cost of running a car has risen by £240 or 11% in the last two years. The average annual price of running a car is now £2,388 up from £2,100 in 2007, this is based on the cost of insurance, fuel, servicing, MOT and tax and is up 2.68% since 2008. Many car drivers fail to adjust from ‘summer driving mode’ and this is a key factor in the 15 percent leap in road accidents during October and November. The first heavy rain of the autumn combines with leaf fall and greasy road surfaces to create treacherous conditions. Stopping distances on wet and slippery roads can be double those of dry – so a car travelling at 40mph will need up to 72 metres to come to a stop. Based between Berkhamsted and Chesham, Car Magic can repair accident damage to a vehicle at or below the excess level of your insurance. Only if the damage exceeds the excess would an insurance claim be instigated. |
