How does drink-driving affect insurance?

A drink-driving conviction significantly impacts car insurance. Insurers see you as a much higher risk, leading to substantially increased premiums or even refusal of cover. This is because statistics show drivers with such convictions are more likely to be involved in future accidents, making them more expensive to insure.
