FAQs

If you’re caught drink driving, you could be handed a fine, driving ban, and you could even imprisoned, depending on the severity of the offence. Additionally, you may find it challenging to find insurance in the future as you’ll be classed as a high risk driver.

Being drunk while in charge of a motor vehicle refers to somebody being over the legal alcohol limit in a vehicle – you don’t have to be driving it to be convicted. The exact legal insurance repercussions can be complex, so we recommend speaking with one of our knowledgeable brokers to understand what this means.

The specific penalties may vary depending on the circumstances and the area where you committed the offence, but they will be similar to what we discussed previously. It will be harder for you to find cover, but we can help you find insurance to help you get back on the road legally and safely.

Being convicted of being drunk in charge of a vehicle will likely cause your insurance policy prices to increase considerably. Because of your high risk driver status, some insurers may not offer you a policy. If you don’t disclose this offence to your current insurer, you risk having your policy invalidated and being in more legal trouble.

While you should still expect to pay more for a drink driving offence, there are some other things you can do to lower your costs. It may be wise to downsize to a car with a smaller engine, while having a speed limiter or telematics (black box) device fitted may also help. We can discuss these options in greater detail when you contact us.
