Car Insurance for Convicted Driver - TT99 - advice needed

I agree totally, but I have a caveat - ban the grannies, and Sunday drivers - for life - that have 3 mile tail-backs in a 50 zone - doing 30 (believing that they are safe drivers - but causing head-ons from people trying to adhere to the safe driving speed indicated on sign-posts).
I know so many crazies: gripping their steering wheel, their backs away from their seats - hunched in terror - when they go above 20mph - unbelievable lack of confidence / driving skill - ban 'em forever!
Now THAT would stop a lot of speeders (cos they wouldn't be delayed by these brain-dead) ;-)I am a mortgage broker.

I know this isn't a 'new' thread and apologies for dragging it up, but been researching..

This caught my attention:Your insurance reflects your risk; and you have to admit someone with a speeding ban is a much higher risk than someone with a clean license.
Hardly.. I can't really deny that I travel "within the conditions" rather than the set limits, everyone makes progress and in 8 years of motoring I'm yet to pickup a speeding ticket, or anything related to dangerous/inconsiderate driving.
There's more to be said for hazard perception, than what you let yourself get caught doing and recorded on your licence. :think:0 -

I'm not sure what you are actually asking.
Is this about insurance cover, or about prosecution for no insurance?
If the latter, I suggest you post here for advice;-

Perhaps the insurer could appoint an assessor to undertake a 6 month audit on your driving abilities.
