Hi all,
I have got my first car insurance, so have 0 years no claims bonus as such chose not to protect it, as I don't have any to protect.
My question is, if my named driver has an accident in the car, would they lose their own no claims bonus. My named driver is my mom, she has her own car and her own policy with 20+ years protected NCB.
If a named driver has an accident, is it only my policy that gets affected?
I've been goolgeing this alll morning, and unable to find an answer, to this specific question.

The named driver is your policy. If they have an accident they would normally claim on your policy so you would lose any no claims bonus, not them. They would, of course, have to declare the accident to their own insurers, if any, which might put their own premium up, but they wouldn't lose their no claims bonus.
