Hi there, any advice you can offer on the following would be greatly appreciated.
I was convicted at age seventeen of DR30 Driving or attempting to drive then failing to supply a specimen for analysis and sentenced to a 16-month driving ban expiring on 12/08/2022 reduced to 22/04/2022 upon completion of a course (which I did complete and return to the court). I was also fined £250.00 which I paid in full.
A massively inconvenient, expensive and dangerous lapse in judgement I will never repeat - I have learnt my lesson!
My question is, that as I was under 18 at the time of conviction (and at the time of the offence) I read here that my age means my endorsement is 'spent' after 2.5 years as opposed to the standard 5 years due to the reduced rehabilitation period.
Additionally I read here that I did not need to declare 'spent' convictions to an insurer. As I was under 18 at the time of conviction and 2.5 years has now lapsed from the conviction date, does this mean I do not need to declare this to an insurer?
Any guidance you can offer would be much appreciated.
