DR70 Insurance: What You Need to Know
A DR70 conviction is triggered by you failing to provide a specimen for a breath test without a reasonable cause, typically at the roadside when requested by the police. This conviction would lead to 4 penalty points being applied to your license, which is lower than many other driving offences, and is considered unspent for four years. Until then, insurance providers view you as a higher risk driver, leading to increased insurance premiums.
Your premiums should eventually come down as driving convictions will eventually be removed from your licence, so your DR70 conviction is not something you will need to disclose forever. Until then, you can do things to potentially reduce the cost of your DR70 insurance policy, choosing to use a telematics (black box) device or driving a car with a smaller engine.

FAQS
If you’ve refused to complete a roadside breathalyser test, you may be handed a DR70 conviction. While this offence might seem minor, it’s very serious and will be treated harshly by the authorities. It impacts the police’s ability to assess whether you’re over the legal limit.
Because this is classed as a serious offence, you should expect a harsh response. If you were allowed to continue driving while over the limit, solely because you refused to complete a test, you would be putting other drivers at risk. This is why some insurers will see you as a problematic driver.
If you have a DR70 driving conviction, you should expect to pay higher premiums because of your high risk status. Having a DR70 conviction doesn’t have to be the end of the road, but you should expect it to be much harder to find cover. This is why many convicted drivers choose to work with specialist insurance brokers.
Your insurance premiums could increase dramatically if you’ve been convicted of any drink driving offence, including a DR70. This is because many insurance companies view drink drivers as a higher risk person. Did you know some insurers won’t even cover drivers with these convictions?
Getting a DR70 insurance quote is easier than you may think, thanks to some insurers’ specialist policies for convicted drivers. Thanks to our experience working in this area, we know where to look and will approach insurers directly to present your unique details.
