    Tomorrow is Sunday. Monday is a bank holiday.

    Admiral telephone lines may actually be open today and tomorrow call them.

    It may be too late to cancel the DD but do it anyway.
    Cancel it online with your bank there wont be a charge from the bank for cancelling it.

    even with a renewal don't you get a cooling off period? so that they should refund you the full amount if you do it within a week or so

    this happened for me, but not quite sure if its the law or was just good customer service.

    at least that way you aren't uninsured - but be careful not to run around with two insurances as that can also cause problems
    I think I saw you in an ice cream parlour
    Drinking milk shakes, cold and long
    Smiling and waving and looking so fine

    Is your car on the road or on private land? If its on the road, then you need insurance even if it won't be driven.
