KENTUCKY INDY 300 POST-RACE QUOTES:

ED CARPENTER (No. 67 Dollar General/Sarah Fisher Racing, winner Kentucky Indy 300): “It felt way better than I ever thought it was going to feel. Dario raced me hard and clean. I knew we had the better car but in the second or third step. It was weird race because my visor was falling off in one of the steps and we had all sorts of stuff going on, the team made changes all day to the car…just an awesome day for the Dollar General, Angie’s List, Fuzzy’s Vodka and everyone involved.” (About visor issues): “I wasn’t going to let a visor coming off stop me from winning the race. I drove 15 or 20 laps with one hand holding on to my helmet til a pit stop, so just so proud to be a part of this team and this organization. Andy, Sarah, and I can’t thank my wife enough for supporting me all these years to get to this point, it’s taken a long time to get our first win, but that’s fine with me.

Car insurance holders ‘should be wary on icy roads’

The AA has revealed that many drivers fall foul of icy conditions in the winter.

Car insurance customers may wish to make sure their policy is adequate to protect them against accidents as winter sets in across the UK, a new study has suggested.

According to research conducted by the AA, the current spell of snowy and icy conditions have led to an increase of almost one quarter – 23 per cent – in the number of breakdown car cover claims being made from their customers.

The data collated from the company’s call centre on Cardiff shows that annual insurance policies have been affected as road users report instances of collisions with objects such as kerbs and barriers due to the treacherous driving conditions caused by the cold snap.

Simon Douglas, director of AA Insurance, added: “Trees, lamp posts, telegraph poles, barriers, bollards, grass embankments, walls, fences and hedges have also all brought unfortunate drivers to an abrupt and chilly halt.”

This comes after the Post Office announced it is to increase cover on its home insurance products by ten per cent ahead of the festive period.

Meanwhile, one lender has advised people to take care of their pipes in the winter.

Home insurance customers may wish to take some time to compare savings on the most attractive deals available to them as cold weather sets in across the UK, a provider has stated.

According to Lloyds TSB, there has been a “dramatic increase” in the number of claims being made on contents and buildings insurance policies in the recent past due to the snow and icy conditions that have enveloped the country.

The financier indicated it has experienced a rise of 700 per cent in the number of claims being made for frozen or burst pipes, with five per cent of such dealings being down to these problems.
