One in five admit to insurance 'fronting'
New research from the Motor Insurers Bureau (MIB) and Aviva reveals that 70% of UK drivers do not understand what 'fronting' means, but that one in five of those that do understand the term admit to it.
Insurance ‘fronting’ occurs when someone other than the main driver of a vehicle is incorrectly declared as the policyholder.
By doing this, motorists are committing fraud and under contract terms, could invalidate an insurance policy.
The research, which forms part of MIB’s Stay Insured campaign, reveals that more than a third (35%) of drivers justify ’fronting’ as being a loophole in the law.
One in ten (10%) believe that ‘fronting’ is a legitimate way of obtaining cheaper motor insurance
