Drink Driving (DUI) conviction insurance
These include driving a motor vehicle while impaired, driving with alcohol content higher than the allowable limit and refusing to provide a blood sample or breath.
The circumstances surrounding your conduct, interception or your refusal, your background and, where appropriate, the blood alcohol content are taken into account by the judge during sentencing after your conviction.
The first offence will have reduced penalties, but that conviction is where you are going to start have problems with insurance.
With your second offence, if it includes imprisonment, only specialist insurers will take you on.
Your driver's license will be confiscated by the court at your sentencing, and following your conviction, insurance companies may be informed.
Other, more tough rules may apply for the duration of suspension of your license if you are convicted of more serious offences such as refusal to provide a breath sample.
