Statistics prove that motorcyclists are 45 times more at risk to being killed than someone driving a car. If riding your motorcycle is your passion and first love then why take the chance of losing it all, by riding uninsured? Riding uninsured exposes you to an unfortunate possibility that can put a serious hole in your finances. If you are responsible for a motorcycle accident and you did not purchase bike insurance you would be liable to pay for any medical bills and repair costs for the third party. This would also include paying for any of your own medical expenses and damages to your motor bike. Such an unfortunate situation could lead you into severe debt or even bankruptcy. It is your responsibility to protect your financial stance and your motor bike by obtaining a bike insurance policy. It is illegal to drive a motor bike in the UK, without obtaining a motor bike insurance policy beforehand.
Motorcycle riders are more likely to gain grave injuries because they are relatively exposed to external conditions such as rain, wind and snow. There are no substantial safety features in a motorcycle such as seatbelts or airbags which all cars are equipped with. Even poor road conditions at times can be a threat to a motorcycle rider. A car would be fairly easier to gain control in, if it spins out of control but a motorcycle with just 2 wheels, is more likely to skid and have a critical accident. The majority of traffic is made up of car drivers and certain angles are blind spots which prevent them from seeing motorcycles. This sort of predicament can cause an accident or even worse could turn into a hit and run case. This happens often as motorcycle riders are usually seriously injured when a car and motorcycle accident takes place. Motorcycle riders can purchase personal accident policies which cover their medical and damage costs if a hit and run occurs.
Did you know it takes just 20 seconds to steal a motorcycle? All a robber has to do is lift it into a van and you’ll probably never see your motor bike again. I don’t think you’d be very happy if one day you found that your motor bike was gone and it hadn’t been insured. A motor bike insurance policy can cover the cost of replacing your bike if you have purchased a theft plan as a part of your motor bike insurance policy. There are other aspects also covered with insurance policies such as fire, third party coverage, death or injury coverage, and medical expenses. It all depends on the type of insurance policy you decide to purchase. It is very essential to find out what your insurance policy will cover and how to file a claim before signing an insurance policy contract. If you wait for an accident to find out about your policy that would be a bad time to realise you’re not covered under certain situations that have taken place. Obtaining quotes from different insurance companies will maximise your awareness of the current insurance market.
Make a wise decision and purchase a bike insurance policy before heading out on the road. It’s not worth getting stuck with an uninsured motorcycle and the burden of mounting debt weighing on your shoulders from an unfortunate accident. Avoid the risks of riding uninsured and ride your bike safely, both physically and financially.
