  • Best to on a comparison site and get some quotes.

    Theres far too many variables.

    I'd imagine no insurance could be a biggie though. That and 6 points. (3 points for speeding made no difference in my case)

    It is one of those offences insurance companies really don't like (for obvious reasons)

    As above though, given insurance costs have risen a lot generally you can expect a fair lump on top.

    If you must know just how much then tyou can compare with and without but it'll probably just upset you!

    5t.
    What if there was no such thing as a rhetorical question?

    Historically insurance companies have been particularly begrudging of no-insurance offenders as it's directly lost revenue to them; so be prepared for the worst.

    Best thing you can do, as said, is compare with both sets of parameters.
