It won't affect your no-claims bonus as you haven't made a claim (unless a third party has done so).

What will increase is your base premium, and that depends on how the insurance company sees the offence.

One of our drivers had a DD conviction some years back and we saw an increase of nearly 300% on his commercial policy.

Not only will it put your rate up to maximum but I think you will have trouble finding a company which will insure you.

You will most probably keep your no claims, but your insurance premium will most probably treble. You are now a high risk driver. Many Insurance companies would cancel your policy and refuse to insure you any more.


Champagne. Lost for words.
Of course it will affect your premium. You're a high risk.

any conviction will raise your insurance premium a no claims bonus is a different thing and is not part of a conviction as long as You had no accidents or claims that part should still be intact but the conviction side will bring any saving here back down.

Add £2500 to your pemium every year until you have a clean licence in ten years time !
Forget your 70 % discount.

DUI will increase your insurance premium. All part of the punishment!

autoinsurance.hotusa.org - check these plans. As I know their rates for bad driving record is not such expensive as from other companies.

Absolutely - there is no specific formula but you can guarantee it will increase by at least 100% if not a lot more.


welcome news
If you didn't make a claim then you should keep you no claims bonus (keep proof in a safe place as you won't need it for a year - 9 months if you go on a rehabilitation course).

As to premium loadings. Traditionally those insurers who would cover a DR10 conviction in isolation would charge 100% i.e. double. However if you are of mature age then an insurance broker will be able to find you a decent policy - probably with a higher excess.

On NO account omit details of the conviction when going through one of these naff aggregator websites.
