I was 'filtering' when the accident happened - will this affect my claim?

I was 'filtering' when the accident happened - will this affect my claim?


It depends. The Highway Code specifically recognises filtering now, but it is still perceived by the Courts as a hazardous manoeuvre which carries a risk of accident – particularly if there are junctions in the vicinity. 




For this reason, if an accident occurs while you are filtering, there will almost always be a deduction to reflect this - although each case is different.
