DR70 INSURANCE

We're to Help You Find DR70 Insurance When You Need It Most

If you have been charged with a DR70 driving conviction, it means you have refused to provide a specimen for a breath test on the roadside. If the police ask you to provide a specimen at any time, whether it be blood, breath or urine, you should give it to them. We're here to help you find the cover you need, looking beyond your DR70 offence.

DR70 Insurance: What You Need to Know

A DR70 conviction is triggered by you failing to provide a specimen for a breath test without a reasonable cause, typically at the roadside when requested by the police. This conviction would lead to 4 penalty points being applied to your license, which is lower than many other driving offences, and is considered unspent for four years. Until then, insurance providers view you as a higher risk driver, leading to increased insurance premiums.

Your premiums should eventually come down as driving convictions will eventually be removed from your licence, so your DR70 conviction is not something you will need to disclose forever. Until then, you can do things to potentially reduce the cost of your DR70 insurance policy, choosing to use a telematics (black box) device or driving a car with a smaller engine.
