This advice isn’t recommended as it could potentially affect an ability to make a claim in the event of an accident. The first policy PDS I pulled was Budget Direct car insurance. It’s PDS states for a general exclusion:
- in any unsafe, unroadworthy or overloaded condition, unless this condition did not
contribute to the loss or damage
It is possible that turning off a safety feature would be considered ‘unsafe’ which may result in a claim not being paid, especially if there is any chance the accident could have been prevented with the safety feature activated.
