declaring drink drive conviction

[big-guns]

hi, i have insurance third party f & t, but my uncle wants to be able to drive my car - he got his licence back in Nov last year after a 14mth ban for drink driving. Do i have to declare it as his just a named driver?? what happens if i don't??

of course you do,are you stupid,if you dont and they find out your insurance will become invalid,you must be off your head even thinking about putting him on it,it will cost hundreds and hes not exactly the type of person youd want to trust with your car,is he.

alright mate - is there any need to be soo abrupt!! was only asking as i don't want my insurance to go sky high. yes he was stupid and should never of done it but he did like thousands of other people. it was the morning after aswell so he thought he would be ok!! he wasn't like 3/4 times over the limit or anything!

No, but he must have been at least one and a half times the legal limit if he got more than the minimum twelve month ban.

This is aside from the original question (which has been correctly, if somewhat tersely answered) but you did bring it up!

if your uncle is a named driver he will need to disclose any relevant convictions or your insurance will be invalid. He needs to get his own car and try to get insurance it may be very difficult but it will be costly .
