Ive just had some really bad news! My DR10 driving ban that i gained 5 years ago, just turned out to be 4 & a half years ago, hence i have to declare this for insurance quotes & oh my god the price has gone from approx £750 to around £1100 ! I am absolutely gutted....
Sorry to hear that mate...some things in life are just unfair! but not much you can do about it I'm afraid, or maybe call around and tell them your story! its not that you have made accidents orso..?

Thing is, i wasnt driving at the time, my so called mate was. To cut a very long story short, he was driving my car & decided to pinch a sarnie from our local garage, hence they got my number plate on camera, & i had absolutely no idea about this until he drove like a loony & told me what he had done! 3 hours later 4:30am theres a knock on the door, its the police, i decided from that moment to tell them i was driving because i thought this would be the best option, not realizing that i was struggling to stay on my feet, the very nice police man asked "have you been drinking tonight sir"? which i replied "mmmmm yes ive had one or two". Next thing i know im whisked of to the police station & breathalized & yes i was over the limit! 18 month ban, & £400 fine, oh & my "mate" was never seen by me again because he did a runner up north all because i had told him he was paying the fine, which he agreed with. Very valuable lesson learnt - look after number one!

Never do such thing again! tell them as it is from now when someone else was driving!
