Road Rage Benefit - It’s sad to say that road rage incidents are on the increase, with around 1200 cases a year. Reacting to this, we have included a Road Rage Benefit on our policies. This gives cover for aspects such as; fatality, disablement, hospital allowances and personal effects.
This features a £25 excess, but can pay up to £5000 for accidental death or total disablement and also one counseling session for stress.
In the event of a road-rage incident, you should try and stay calm and don't react angrily or with violent gestures. This may be difficult, but for your own safety and the safety of those travelling with you it is important that you try to diffuse the situation.
Most importantly, don't leave your vehicle, and keep the doors locked and windows up. If the aggressive driver is behind you, try to keep a reasonable distance between you and the vehicle in front, so that you can move into that space and away from the aggressive driver if necessary.
Make a note of the registration number, model, colour and shape of the other vehicle. A description of the driver might also prove useful, so try and remember what they look like, especially anything distinctive about their appearance.
This is automatically included for free on your policy, and is a great piece of mind feature that shows how The Student Motor Company is reacting to the ever-changing world.
