If you do not report an accident
You may find yourself in a position of having your claims prejudiced or declined later by insurers.
Failure to comply with the new policy condition will be seen as being “in breach” of the policy terms and conditions, i.e. there will be no liability on the part of the insurer.
Any non-compliance of this policy condition will result in a loss of your No Claims Discount upon renewal of your policy.
