The RAF emphasizes that it does not compensate for intentional or self-inflicted accidents and stresses the importance of road safety. The RAF highlights that it investigates claims thoroughly to ensure fairness and efficiency.

This behaviour is dangerous and adds unnecessary pressure on the Fund which must assess and investigate claims of rightful claimants efficiently.

Festive season road crash statistics cover a 42-day period, from 01 December to 11 January each year. A total of 84% of these fatal road crashes resulted from human conduct.
