I've just renewed my car insurance. Because I use it for work, I'm insured for business use. From the quite lengthy set of questions on 'volunteering', the insurance company clearly see volunteering as 'work'. How many of us are therefore invalidating our car insurance when we drive to do voluntary 'work' at an event, either as a helper or official? How long therefore before we need to start ensuring that all event officials / helpers are insured for business use before they can help, if they are going to drive to or during the event?
