Car insurance after ban

cutterschoicenotmine

I am aware of it, very aware, having your license taken for a year for something so stupid is such a ripper. Seems the perfect crew above love posting helpful comments everywhere. Infact, they only seem to be active when other people are leaning over the parapit and they are ready to push.

blah blah, yeah you know you were stupid and probably wont do it again you don't need anyone preaching at you.
But as a rule if I am driving, I drink nothing alcoholic no matter what, but that is just a personal call. My cheapest night out was 40p including all my soft drinks.

I think you will struggle for insurance with the usual suspects like Direct Line etc and would be best searching for a specialist.
I know Admiral like young drivers, so you may be lucky with them because of the age, but I think again with you a student AND the ban you will struggle with anyone.

Google is your best bet for car insurance.

But I would personally suggest the motorbike option you mention.


If you stick around these forums mate, I wouldn't blame you if you didn't, but if you do you will notice there are alot of high and mighty types. Just ignore them, I do.

You drank, then you drove - what's not clear cut about that.

If have a look at this post, you'll see that not everything is black and white. Better to get the full story, because we all know what "assume" makes.

Now people, if we can take our blinkers off for a minute, the OP asked a question about insurance prices. If you want to flame people - go elsewhere.

Great stuff, im seriously weighing up the bike option. As for the plinth platoon, glad someone else finds it annoying. But hey, there is some damn good advice around these BBS.

Whilst I would never condone drink driving on any level, I agree with that, these forums are well known for the "moral minority" on other sites lol. Same lot that think everone in debt sits there in a council house with a widescreen telly and gold chains round their neck whilst trying to rip off those lovely moral honest types at the bank lol.

I personnally don't drink and drive at all now (not even one glass), but at 19 was a passenger in a car where the driver had drunk 2 pints and could like the OP have been borderline. You live and hopefully learn, but you can't blame the insurance companies. Go through the comparison sites, but I doubt you will get a quote much under 1k.

And I said I thought just over £1000 was reidicuolously cheap. I paid £750 for my first years insurance and all the other insurance companies were £1000 plus, and I was 26 at the time and just got my license. So £1000 is ridiculously cheap.

There seems to be arising a "you can drink and drive so long as you don't go over the police's test limit" argument arising.

Another option is to sell the Mk4 polo and buy a banger car from the under £1000 section of autotrader, and use the funds from the polo to fund the insurance.

Were has this been said anywhere? Go imply what you want to imply but no-one has even hinting at this.

Once again, im asking for advice. Im going to ask for this thread to be shut if this keeps carrying on as its just a waste of good webspace, webspace that could be used for the "Cheapest options to get a moped on the road", thread.

Already said that in the OP, do you ever say anything constructive?

Thanks for all replies so far.



If you have nothing decent to say, you know the rest. I've done my time and will pay the price. You know, not everything is as clear cut as you think. Reading one point over on the breath test is what I call, and what the judge called unlucky, along with everyone else I have spoken too, including the solicitor.

Not at all. It was higher when you got into the car than when you got stopped.
