How on earth do people get insurance after a conviction?

Convicted Driver Insurance
I just checked to see what my qoutes will be after my ban and its literally 10x what I pay now at about 6-8k a year! This was comparing speciallity convicted driving offences insurancee as well btw. Do most people just have to wait until 5 or so years pass and you no longer have to declare it?

Many thansk in advance for your help!

I just went on the comparison sites and was cheaper than I expected. Mine doubled from around £400 before conviction to just over £800 after and thats loosing all my no claims because I had an accident when I was arrested for DD.

I used compare the meerkat. I got insured for 1500. Compared to the specialists quoting me 4k!
Yes my insurance is still high, but I'd never been a policy holder before and had only been driving just over 3 yrs when I got banned

Go on comparison websites the 1st year is the worst because you will have no claims, but after that it's not to bad to be honest
