Hi there, I was banned from driving for 12 months for "failing to provide a specimen for analysis" (getting reduced to 9 months with the Rehab Course) and have kept my car on driveway since ban was imposed upon me.
I just wondered, is it illegal for me to keep my insurance policy going?
I have not informed my insurance company about my disqualification (as of yet), and just wondered if I never told them and then once my ban was up and started driving again once I got my licence back, would they ever find out about the fact that I was once disqualified and would they be able to take any legal action against me? I understand if I had an accident they would not pay out and the insurance would be null and they'd probably not want me as a customer anymore - but is that the worse that would happen and if I never had an accident and never had to make a claim, would they ever find out???
Anyone in the same boat? I think a ban, a fine, paying for the rehab course and having to take a medical is punishment enough, without having to pay sky-high insurance just because of a silly mistake.
