Claims for road accidents jump 8% in the week after the clocks go back, according to analysis of internal data by Tesco Bank Car Insurance.
The findings are based on data from 2013 to 2019 (and exclude 2020 due to the impact of Covid on driving behaviour and patterns), which compares the number of claims in the week before the clocks go back, with the week after. This year, clocks went back an hour on 31 October.
Based on the findings, Tesco Bank has urged drivers to take extra care on the roads and shared its tips on winter driving.
