Drink Drive Car Insurance
As an insurance provider that specialises in convicted drivers we are very familiar with DR10, DR20, UT50, IN10, LC20, LC30 and DR30 convictions. Alcohol related driving offences have created a unique insurance market in itself, Drink Drive Car Insurance.
Whether you are facing a ban or are already banned insuring your car after a DR10 or DR30 conviction can be an expensive business, but don’t despair. Drivers with alcohol related offences from being in excess of the limit, 35mg breath or 85mg blood, can still achieve affordable drink drive car insurance.
There are ways to reduce a driving ban such as a drink drive rehabilitation course. Drink drive rehabilitation courses can cost you around about £250 and punctuality is a must if you want to complete it. During the course you will learn how consuming alcohol can slow down your metabolism and the impact it has on your driving ability. The idea behind it is to make you more aware of the adverse effects of drink driving.
However there are times when drink drive offences can be highly complex, for example failure to produce a specimen, DR10 and DR30 conviction codes. This can happen as a result of medical reasons such as asthma or breathing difficulties which prevent you from blowing into the machine or it may be a phobia about needles which prevent you from supplying a sample of your blood. Failure to produce a specimen usually results in no points being deducted off your licence but a longer length of driving ban.
The worst drink driving offences, from an insurance perspective, are repeat offenders. Drivers with a second drink driving offence will find motor insurance harder to find. Imprisonment is used for the most serious offences and repeat offenders which is a sign of the seriousness of the crime.
The seriousness of the offence depends on lots of factors including but not limited to; the level of the alcohol reading, whether or not any accident occurred, whether or not any damage was caused to property and/or anybody was injured, whether or not the offender has previous convictions. Car insurance for drivers with repeat drink-drive convictions can be particularly expensive. At Insure Your Motor, we have access to schemes that can help drivers get back on the road.
