With the odd 1.4 million drivers running around on the roads of Britain, it will come as a shock to most that being involved in an accident with an uninsured driver may not cover you in your car insurance. Yes, most car insurance policies do not provide cover or meddle around with the terms to make them indecipherable so that the customer doesn’t notice it until it’s too late.

Recently, the insurance policies of some insurance providers were analysed, and it was revealed that when it came to the matter of accidents involving uninsured drivers, the wording on the policy was vastly different.

Although most of the comprehensive car insurance cover do provide compensation in the event of an accident and guarantee immunity of the ‘no claims’ discount, some insurance providers have resorted to small print in order to hide some of the less favourable aspects of the policy.

What lay hidden in small print was the condition that in the case of an accident with an uninsured driver, cover would only be provided if the driver managed to procure details of the offending vehicle such as make and model, along with registration number and the residence details of witnesses present, if any.

With cheap car insurance deals becoming non-existent in UK, this is the last thing drivers expect out of their ‘comprehensive’ car cover. It has been understood that even online car insurance comparison websites hold a few companies that engage in such practices. The honest drivers who compare car insurance costs are at loss to understand why they have to pay high costs for insurance and be misled in such a manner.
