Drivers who make non-essential journeys during lockdown have been warned their insurance could be invalid.
Motorists could end up paying "thousands" for repairs if they are involved in an accident and have been urged to speak to their insurers to seek clarification about what their policy covers.
If a driver has an accident during a non-essential trip, it is possible the insurer could reject the claim.
Florence Codjoe of Uswitch.com told the Daily Mirror: "You could end up paying thousands for repairs.
"If you're unsure about cover during lockdown, speak to your insurer for clarification."
She also warned drivers should not cancel their insurance unless they have off-street parking for their vehicle.
Leaving your vehicle on the road without any insurance cover is illegal and could lead to a fine.
England entered stricter nationwide rules last week in an attempt to slow down the spread of the coronavirus with people only allowed to leave their home for a specific reason.
People can make journeys for medical needs, childcare or education, shopping for food and essentials, or to provide care for vulnerable people.

Boy Johnson has been a disappointment on several fronts
Happening here soon. Just you wait.
Are they discounting their premiums because they’re providing less coverage?
The Brits need to have themselves a little tea party along the Thames.
And then gets themselves a formal, written constitution that protects them from their government.
Note to the UK: Feel free to crib ours. Especially the Bill of Rights.
Seems reasonable...
Globalist-dictatorship BUMP
Questions like yours, during a pandemic, are to be fined.
Seems like there would be two payment paths...essential driving only, or essential-non-essential. Once you open this Pandoras Box....you got a bigger mess on your hands.

These are the kind of people that call us Nazis. I guess folks will just travel without insurance in the UK.
Our insurance company cut premiums 15% for the first 6 month renewal during the pandemic (May-November) because of overall reduced driving; just paid the next 6 month premium, back to normal rates. My initial reaction was the same as yours - if the coverage you paid for is reduced, so should the premiums.
They do find creative ways to turn the country into a repressive dictatorship without anyone ever catching on to what’s happening.
Blame the insurance companies for what the government forced them to do.
There are those that will defend the insurance companies even here. I hold little but contempt and loathing for those who sell a “product” then when a delivery is due, they do everything in their power to NOT produce that promised service.
Insurance companies have a poor reputation for a reason.
They definitely need a 2nd amendment.
