Car Insurance Rise for drivers who smoke behind the wheel
People who are caught smoking could received a driving without due care and attention conviction (CD10) leading to three points on their driving licence and a £60 fine.
Drivers who with a smoking related CD10 conviction could find it difficult to renew their Car Insurance or face huge increases in their insurance Renewal Premiums.
Changes to the Highway Code have only recently been introduced, so only time will tell which insurers increase or decrease the level to which they penalise those caught smoking while driving.
Oakland Insurance offer car insurance policies from a panel of leading Lloyd's and ABI Insurance companies and are not restricted to one market like direct car insurance companies.
Cover available for fleets of at least 6 motor vehicles (no upper limit). We can cater for car only fleets, cars & small commercial vans right up to heavy haulage fleets.
Cover available is for Comprehensive and Third Party Fire & Theft.
Certain Insurers also offer breakdown recovery as an added benefit because the cost of a breakdown can be huge. It can lead to a loss of business and disappointed customers, on top of wasted hours by the roadside.
We are also able to offer a full fleet "risk management package". The hidden financial cost to a fleet operator following accidents is estimated at over 4 times the amount spent in repairing a vehicle. The cost includes injured staff, damaged stock and missed orders.
Many Insurers have arrangements in place with driver awareness training centres. The benefits mean more than just reduced insurance premiums, if you have trained drivers, it means that you look after your staff, your fleet and your costs.
