Google: "car insurance for convicted drug drink drivers" and it comes up with a load of information. Seems like there are about 100 odd schemes for drink/drugs compared to thousands for the general market.

Not as heavy as the wheelbarrow full of cash that they'll have to take to the brokers to pay for the insurance :D

At least they get punished properly in the end by the insurers. The police and courts don't give any worthwhile punishment. Sadly it's probably easier for them to drive without insurance and pay the paltry fine if they ever get caught.

I love how everyone instantly presumes that drugs has a negative connotation. What if his friend had been taking prescription drugs, but suffered some unknown adverse reaction, and had his licence removed on the advice of his doctor?

Not so simple, is it.

A doctor can't dish out bans though. They will have been caught by police and gone to court. I doubt a court would give a ban for driving under the influence of prescription drugs, unless such drugs carried a warning not to drive.

Looks like we "instantly presumed" correctly then...

So yes it would appear to be that simple.

Unless doctors are prescribing spliffs in certain areas of the country of course...

While I don't condome drug taking we don't know any circumstances. I am sure a lot of people have smoked a bit of puff and driven especialy if they are young. This could lead to a drug ban.

It is society which creates drug users and it is totally unfair to judge without knowing the circumstances.

As for quotes phoning companies direct will always get better results for this kind of thing.
