Why is car insurance for convicted drivers more expensive?
Searching for car insurance for convicted drivers usually results in higher insurance premiums, due to insurance companies seeing these drivers as a higher risk than someone with a clean license. This means that it often ends up being much more expensive.
How long do I have to declare my driving convictions for?
When applying for insurance, it’s vital that you disclose any driving convictions that remain on your license. Failure to do this could result in your insurance being deemed invalid, and you could find yourself facing another conviction for driving without adequate insurance.
How long the conviction stays on your license depends on the nature and seriousness of the offence. As a guide only, here are the usual time scales for driving convictions:
|
Punishment for offence |
Usual time before it is ‘spent’ |
|
Fine or community service |
5 years |
|
Prison sentence of up to 6 months |
7 years |
|
Prison sentence of 6 months - 2 years |
10 years |
|
Prison sentence of over 2½ years |
This type of conviction is never spent, and you will always have to disclose it to insurers. |
