No. If you don't want to proceed with the insurance, you don't have to.black_hawk84 said:I have been driving for over 5 years and none of the insurance companies ever asked for driving licence details. It sounds bit strange that upon renewal the company I have cheapest insurance quote is now asking for driving licence number on very last page.
My question is whether its legal for them to demand driving licence number when they already have records from DVLA? Is it not breach of any law or rights we hold?
ThanksGoogling on your question might have been both quicker and easier, if you're only after simple facts rather than opinions!0 -
