Which driving convictions can Adrian Flux cover?
We offer cover for drivers with any driving conviction. We know that a driving conviction can follow you for years to come, in some cases having a negative impact on your career if you previously depended on your vehicle for work.
As a specialist insurance broker, we work with a number of insurers that are more tolerant of drivers deemed a “high risk”. As a result, we’re better equipped at getting you a quote.
Just some of the convictions we can cover include:
- Drivers with criminal convictions
- DR10 – driving or attempting to drive with alcohol level above limit
- DR20 – driving while under the influence of alcohol or drugs
- DG10 – driving or attempting to drive with drug level above the specified limit
- Drivers whose insurance has been cancelled, refused or voided
- IN10 – driving a vehicle uninsured
- TS10 – failing to comply with traffic light signals
- SP30 – exceeding the statutory speed limit
- DD30 – driving recklessly
- LC10 – driving without a licence
- TT99 – totting up 12 or more points on your licence

How does a driving conviction affect motor insurance?
If you’ve got points on your licence or a driving ban, most insurance companies tend to see you as a higher risk, meaning you could face higher insurance premiums. You might even find that some providers refuse to cover you altogether.
As a specialist insurance broker, we look at drivers with convictions a little differently. We understand that in many cases, the conviction was a one-off mistake, and many convicted drivers take courses and get support to fix the underlying issues.
As a result, we’re able to offer convicted driver insurance to motorists when other insurance companies cannot. And in many cases, we can cover drivers with convictions without hiking up their premium at all. If you want to talk to someone about your situation, our team is available every day of the week to discuss your circumstances and help you find a solution.

Do I have to declare my driving convictions?
Yes, it’s important that you declare any driving convictions and points on your licence if they haven’t been spent. Not doing so could invalidate your insurance policy, meaning you’d have to pay out of pocket for a claim.
Does having points on my licence affect insurance premiums?
Unfortunately, having points on your licence can impact your insurance premium and could prevent you from finding cover altogether. We know how worrying this can be, especially if you depend on your car for work, school runs, or any other aspects of your life.
Thankfully, we’re often able to provide cover with little to no increase to your premium in a lot of cases. We’re always a call away, with an understanding human at the end of the line to help you find cover.
Can I still get affordable car insurance as a convicted driver?
Whilst the points on your licence could increase your premium, we can compare quotes from insurers to find the companies most lenient towards convicted drivers. This usually results in us being able to find you cover at a price that’s comparable to quotes you received before you got the conviction.
Another solution is black box insurance. If you’re eager to prove that you’re a safe driver following a motoring conviction, telematics cover is a great option and is particularly suited to drivers who are considered a higher risk. Driving safely can help reduce your premium by up to 60% on renewal, and our telematics policies don’t limit you in the ways that most policies do.
Over 82.4% of customers who got an online quote could have saved money if they’d called us instead.
Do you offer van insurance for drivers with previous convictions?
Yes, at Adrian Flux, we’re committed to treating customers as individuals. As such, we aim to provide fair and reasonable quotes on van insurance for drivers with previous convictions too. Van insurance risks are assessed in exactly the same way as car insurance risks.
Can I get convicted driver insurance as a young driver?
Age and previous record should not prevent you from having access to car insurance. Our insurance experts analyse your precise needs to offer convicted insurance for young drivers too.
Can I get cover if I’ve previously been banned or disqualified from driving?
If you’ve been disqualified from driving because you’ve totted up 12 or more points within three years, or you’ve received an instant driving ban for dangerous or reckless driving, you might find that even after serving the ban in full, you struggle to find cover.
Here at Adrian Flux, we understand that a previous ban or disqualification won’t automatically make you a more reckless or dangerous driver when you get back behind the wheel again – especially if your job’s on the line. That’s why we offer specialist car insurance for banned drivers that’s tailored to your needs and situation. Give us a call to speak to our team.
FAQs
I have points on my licence. Can I still get cover?
We work with over 30 insurers, meaning we can cover almost any combination of vehicle and driver even if you have points on your licence.
I’ve been refused cover – what can I do?
If you’ve been refused cover, call us to speak to our team. We understand how stressful it can be to come back from a ban or motoring conviction only to discover that you can’t get the insurance you need to get back on the road.
With 50 years of experience finding car insurance for “high-risk” drivers, we’re specially equipped to help you get a quote even when other providers are unable.
My convictions are spent but I’m still struggling to get insurance – what can I do?
When your convictions are spent, your past misdemeanours have been forgiven in the eyes of the law, but in a lot of cases, insurance companies remain cautious about providing cover to previously convicted drivers.
Whether you have spent or unspent points on your licence, our understanding team are happy to discuss your car insurance needs and find you a convicted driver insurance quote that’s tailored to you and your car.
