Hi all,
Quick question - I live in Northern Ireland and was convicted in 2014 of drink driving with a 1 year ban. I completed this, and as you are aware in Northern Ireland it means you have to retake your driving test again.
I insured myself on my car as a provisional driver to retake my test again, and when I passed I simply rang the insurance and told them I passed and my cover was updated. Now, nearly a year down the line, time for renewal. I was looking at my licence, and my licence states that, yes it's valid from the date it was printed, but the entitlement sections and valid from, shows when I originally passed my test, 4 years prior. Now I'm worried that, should I be telling insurance companies I have held I licence for 5 years as that is what my licence states? Or would it be only 1, as I was disqualified?? I just want to clarify and confirm what the general consensus is before ringing any companies.
Many thanks in advance
