Halifax Insurance and More Than Business: Thieves and crashes more likely in dark times

Halifax Home Insurance and More Than Business have warned about the increased risks of burglary and car crashes as the days become shorter.

When daylight saving ends this weekend and darkness falls, opportunistic thieves are more likely to attempt burglaries and drivers struggle more to see roads properly.

People should therefore ensure that their home insurance and car insurance are up to date.

According to Halifax, burglaries increase by around 20 per cent in the winter months.

Senior claims manager Martyn Foulds said the average burglary claim now exceeds £2,000.

Halifax offered advice such as marking property with an ultra violet pen, having locks visible and keeping an alarm prominent and always set.

Both the police and home insurance provider should be told if a property was left unsecured after a break-in.

Meanwhile, More Than said that accident claims increase by five per cent on average each year on either side of the clock changes.

It advised motorists to keep lights and windows clean, lower speed and increase stopping distances.
