Not sure If I've posted this in the right section.
Hi guys, was wondering if anyone could give me any info on the following. I have been banned for 13 months and my current insurance policy runs out in 4 months. My question is, do I need to cancel my policy immediately as obviously I don't have a licence or can I keep the policy ongoing to protect me from theft or another car hitting it etc - basically the car is off road and will never be driven whatsoever while Im banned so can I keep the policy and still be covered for the things listed above that "may" happen while it is parked. There is a £50 cancellation fee so in money terms its not worth me cancelling it as that is what I would be due back anyway.
My question is, do I simply have no right to insurance while banned. If I am allowed to have insurance will the policy go up for the remaining 4 months even though the car will never be driven. I wont insure after the 4 months, im basically just thinking that I've paid for these remaining 4 months already up front, so I would like to keep it until then if Im allowed. Is it an offence to not tell the insurance company straight away or can I just see out these 4 months and then notify them at the time of renewel that the policy will be cancelled.
Also, how long do no claims bonus stay active for while not having insurance. When I start driving again in 13 months time, will my 16 years of NCD still be allowed ?
Thanks a lot in advance. My head is spinning.
