I have been informed by my insurance that I will have to reimburse the company for a claim made by an electrical company for the replacement of a telegraph pole I crashed into whilst drink driving.
my policy states in the general exceptions in which the company will not be liable:
"To indemnify the insured or any authorised driver if at the time of the accident the person driving or having the vehicle under his control was under he influence of intoxicating liquor or drugs and such driver has been convicted by a Criminal Court for driving under such influence or there was sufficient evidence on which he could have been so convicted"
Being the named driver, does this mean I am liable to pay for the third party damage. I ask this as it does not state that property damage will not be paid for by the insurer, or through this in the general exceptions, does this state all damages including my car and to third party property is not liable to be covered by the insurer.
