Do I need to disclose....

I had an accident in my daughters car and we claimed on her policy. This is completed.

My car insurance is due on 27th. Do I need to tell them about the accident? Is it relevant to my policy I have 8yrs Protected NCB.

    So yes, you must declare it.
    Science adjusts its views based on what's observed.
    Faith is the denial of observation, so that belief can be preserved.

    Yes.

    It is a material fact, and failure to disclose it will invalidate your policy.

    Your NCD is irrelevant (and won't be affected in any way) as far as you being obliged to disclose the "accident".
