Classic car insurance customers should plan weekend journey

Motorists with cherished vehicle insurance who want to take their antique auto for a spin this coming bank holiday weekend may like to take note of the following advice.

Derek Turner, director of network operations for the Highways Agency, suggested drivers plan their trip – especially if they are not familiar with the journey - and check the condition of their vehicle before setting off.

He added parts of an auto to examine prior to a trip should include tyres, oil, water and fuel – and doing so could lower the risk of making a classic car insurance claim.

As well as packing food and water, Mr Turner recommended taking a map in case an alternative route needs to be found.

He stated: "We have removed as many roadworks as possible and provide a number of information services to help road users plan their journeys.

"We expect the roads to the main holiday centres, ports and airports will be busy so we're doing everything we can to help drivers with their journeys."

Classic car insurance customers may be aware the Highways Agency is a government body.
