Hee Hee, its okay Teresa, I'm sold on the idea. I'm just to get in contact with the insurance company and sort that out, then I'll be calling Pete to proceed to the first steps of joining. Thanks for the encouragement anyway.

Insurance is a bit of a minefield. Does anyone have a "network" answer on what we need to do about it and who are the best insurers who understand what it's about?



I have off road insurance but haven't declared the Response work yet - I may never need it if I'm not called out. I looked into it with my insurer but it seemed to cause complications so I just left it off in the end.

If all you are doing is helping out for no financial gain and you are not doing anything that is outside of normal traffic laws then is there a problem. If you are on police escort and being led through red lights then I suspect you are on dodgy ground, insurance wise. Other than that, what difference is this to say taking the plastic bottles down the recycling centre for the in-laws? I'm going to check my policy book tonight, then possibly give the company a call. Mind you I'm always a bit nervious about making contact as I'm sure its all on your file, whether its a claim or just a question.

Try Sureterm or Swinton



I'm with Swinton with volunteer driving expressly included.



Sureterm, I have been told that they are worth talking to. IF called by Dorset Police we are expressly covered on their vehicle insurance whilst working on their behalf. I hope to have that built into our agreement with neighbouring forces.

Well, I made the call!! At first it was very negative. Can't possibly do that as it increases the risk weighting. Then the lady had an idea and went off to talk to the underwritting guys. She was gone about 10 minutes. When she came back it was good news. Yes, I am covered, provided that the work is purely voluntary and I am not to operate a blue light. A note has been added to my policy. Looks like the jobs a good un. Right, I know what the next step is. :lol:
