Smoking could lead to loss of cheap car insurance

Female smokers could be in for a shock if cheap car insurance companies decide to put up premiums for those caught smoking whilst driving.

Confused.com, an online car insurance comparison website, has pointed out that those who are caught driving without due care and attention because of smoking behind the wheel now face a fine and points on their licence.

Most cheap car insurance companies will consider motorists with this conviction to be a higher risk and consequently up the cost of motor insurance quotes for these drivers.

A spokesperson for Confused.com commented: "Driving without due care and attention is taken very seriously by insurers, and this is reflected in the amount by which premiums rise.

However, she also pointed out, "Time will tell which insurers increase or decrease the level to which they penalise those caught smoking while driving."

*A replacement car can normally be arranged under one of the following conditions: (1) Comprehensive policyholders – a replacement car may be available under the terms of your insurance policy. Please check your policy details for more information. (2) Non fault accident – where we have the name, car registration number and insurance details of the person who caused the accident, we can supply a replacement car. This is done on a credit hire basis which means the costs for this service will be passed onto the insurance company of the person who caused the accident. We may not be able to arrange a replacement car where we are unable to get an admission of liability from their insurance company, or where the driver is untraceable or uninsured. (3) Repair garage – if your car is booked in for repairs following an accident, the repair garage may be able to provide a replacement car (subject to availability).
