whats the legal standing if your a driving a royal mail vechile, who has a crash which you are liable, can the passenger claim off the drivers own insurance as well as royal mail, ie whiplash , personal injuries ,would it effect your own insurance, just a bit worried, would rather sit their getting chauffeured than put my own insurance at risk. I don't drive for royal mail at present

do you have to notify your own insurance and will it effect your own premiums?

You would have to inform you own insurance that you have had a accident that was you fault. With regards to the whiplash claim I'm pretty sure you would have to sue the person in question as suppose to claiming through royal mails insurance.
