It still remains illegal...something to think about when considering hospital/insurance claims, they generally don't pay out if the accident was caused by you doing something illegal.

Great message which seems to fall on deaf ears way too often ...

 

And sometimes, while it may be legal, it remains stupid.!

Only really true of Short Term insurance, when it comes to doing things like breaking the speed limit (if it's proven) or driving drunk.

 

Med Aid / Life insurance only generally doesn't pay if the injury / illness etc is self inflicted. Cycling on a freeway wouldn't be one of those things that are categorized as "self inflicted"

 

ITO Disability insurance, the majority of providers have removed the "in the process of performing an illegal act" thing from their policy documents as an exclusion.
