So I was caught about a year ago welllll over the limit after a boozy lunch. Took 5 months to go to court and was banned for 2 years, £400 fine and some community service. My lawyer cost the most (£8k!) and thankfully my insurance company paid out for my £95K car...
Anyhow, I have not touched a drop of alcohol since the incident and only been on the road in Spain (with my Spanish Drivers license I gained after being banned so I could at least drive somewhat, I LOVE CARS).
So I'm trying to think of the best legal loophole to get insurance for a nice car again after my license is back. Do get a Spanish reg car and import it? Im certainly not driving a little hatchback for the rest of my life in the UK. I would rather move country, which I would consider. Other aspects of life have not been effected, I can still fly my own plane in the UK, using my own boat in the UK and also motocross on my own land (but im getting a little to old for that).
So what am my options apart from paying loads per annum? I was paying £400 per year for a almost new Audi RS6 so if I bought the same again I think I may be paying the same plus a extra 0 which I would rather not do.
Alternatives...
Also, on the course to reduce my ban, everyone had there incident within a couple of months, why did mine take nearly 6 months (5 months and 20 days) to go to bloody court? My lawyer and I though I had slipped through the net somehow? Its not like it was a huge incident, only my car, quite road, flipped it, did everything the police said calmly...
I was in such a remote place I could of easily just left the car, sobered up and gone back. The only reason the police turned up is the bloody car calls the emergency services if it becomes inverted or nearly and gives GPS locations etc. There I was sat on the side of the road, no one around calmly having a cigarette next to a performance car (upside down) and all of a sudden police, ambulance and fire engine came racing to me...that gave me more of a fright than the dry stone part of the wall in the road that had fallen into the road causing me to crash.
