ABI warns that owners of vehicles like golf buggies and motorised lawnmowers could be forced to take out third party insurance unless the European Commission takes action.

The Association of British Insurers (ABI) has slammed the “unnecessary, unworkable and unfair” European Court of Justice (ECJ) ruling that could force off-road vehicle users to take out third party insurance.

It added that if the law on motor insurance were to change it “could prove the next lucrative hunting ground for claims management companies”.
