Car insurance question

Hi guys

My little sister, 17 years old, will pass her driving test soon, fingers crossed. She will then buy a car.

She wants to insure me on it. I am 24 years old. But 3 years ago I lost my license for drinking driving. 20 month ban.

Will her insurance go up or down with me on it?

Thanks

    It's likely to go up.

    If your ban will be 4 years old shortly it may be worth waiting until then as it might make a difference.

    If you go down this route, make sure your sister chooses a company who will cover you when your added
