Expenses covered include solicitors' fees, barristers' fees, .witnesses' expenses, court costs and the other side's costs if awarded against the insured in a civil action.
Drivers who face any motoring prosecution will automatically have their costs up to £5,000 paid irrespective of whether the alleged offence occurred when they were driving on business or in a private capacity.
Legal expenses will also be paid for the insured or his family to pursue a claim for compensation for personal injuries and loss of earnings resulting from the policyholder's involvement in a motor accident where the other driver was negligent.
The policy costs £10 per year.
