Sorry but you deserve it, im glad you cannot afford the insurance.

What is the point of this comment? Just give the OP a kicking for the hell of it. Hope it made you feel better!

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.

Legally you can. There seems to be a zero tolerance argument arising.

No morality judgement.....

It may be worth looking at the PAYD approach depending on your mileage. Norwich Union is a good starting point for that policy.

Problem is most people do not know the legal limit in terms of amount of drinks. The easiest method is to not drink at all than to drink a couple of pints and get caught taking a gamble.

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

I have got quotes and it isnt a lot higher for a smaller/cheaper car e.g Renault Clio (old 94-98 plate,) VW polo mk2 (fox etc.)

However you seemed to rule it out for nothing other than it doesn't make the insurance cheaper. Constructive point is selling will get you money and lower your overall costs, and even actually pay for the insurance so you don't have to.

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

Not to mention being arrested and taken to the testing machine in the police station etc.
