Insurance during the weather warning

Doddles88

I read online that driving during a red status weather warning voids your insurance should anything happen to you. Honestly don't know if this is true or not but knowing insurance companies they'll do whatever they can to avoid paying out. Anybody know anything about this?

That's bollox

Roads that are not closed are legal to drive on. If the Garda have closed a road, then it's a diffetent story.

Without a link, that's about as useful as quoting some BS you heard from a guy sitting on a high stool.

If you read it in another discussion forum and there was no authority quoted, there's not much point repeating it here.

I checked my policy there (Zurich). Mentions civil strife, nuclear disasters, earthquakes as not being covered but doesn't make mention (as far as I can tell) of excluding driving in a MÉ category red warning.

Of course it depends on your own policy, so only your own insurer can confirm.

Yes. Your insurance provider

Don’t believe anyone except them. not me, your aunt or your cousins nephews sister in law who worked in insurance 5 years ago

Or... print this page and submit it with a claim form. Just like the breeze tomorrow, it’ll “be grand”

That reminds me,
If you get into your car and there is a white square of paper stuck to the back window dont get out to get it.
it is a trick by criminals wanting to steal your car :rolleyes:

Your policy operates during a hurricane, storm, windy day, light gust and when it's dead calm.

Why would anybody want to make a non-essential journey during a red weather warning?

Oh yeah...to stand near some pier and watch the waves crash....
