DR30 Car Insurance
DR30 car insurance is required when you have been convicted of driving or attempting to drive then failing to supply a specimen for analysis. Thanks to this drink-driving conviction code, you will find it harder to get back on the road with proper insurance. You will likely find that getting a quote is tough and if you get one, you’ll be paying more than you might think. Insurers consider you an increased risk and will up premiums accordingly.
How You Got A DR30 Conviction Code
You will receive a DR30 conviction if you have been required to provide specimens for analysis and fail to do so without a reasonable excuse. You are usually required to provide such specimens as a result of being suspected of driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol.
Penalties For Failing To Supply A Specimen For Analysis
If convicted of failing to supply a specimen, your DR30 endorsement remains on your driver’s licence for 11 years from the date of conviction. You receive 3-11 points on your licence depending on the circumstances of the offence. If you acquire more than 12 points on your licence within 3 years, you will be banned from driving.

DR30 Car Insurance
Motor offences that are classed as drink or drug related are often the result of innocent mistakes. Unfortunately, drivers with drink driving endorsements on their licence are faced with insurance premiums that are significantly higher than drivers with clean licences. We offer special drink driver car insurance policies so you can save up to 50% on your insurance premium.
It is essential that you disclose any and all convictions you have when shopping for car insurance. Failure to disclose is a breach of the law and will invalidate your insurance. Plus, if you are stopped by the police, you will receive a driving ban. This will make finding insurers willing to cover you in the future extremely difficult.
