Does anyone know a specialist broker who may be able to help with getting insurance for a convicted driver (all usual insurance companies & recommend ones won’t insure him )
He had accident on his motorbike day after his 17th birthday July 2022 and was found to be 0.2 over the specified limit for cannabis due to smoking it the night before (he used to use it to help him sleep as he has adhd & was on mental health waiting list for 2 years)
He has been on medication for last 2 years & does not touch any drugs anymore but we are struggling to find any insurer to insure him.
He is fully aware that it’s his own fault but he has learned the hard way & has stable job etc that he is struggling to get to at times due to no transport.
Any specialist insurance brokers out there that may be able to help. ?

Based on that limited information I would start with Keith Michael’s.
Needless to say if they are able to offer something though their panel of Insurers it won’t be cheap.
I’ve never used them but am aware of them and they have been around a long time.
There is also the likes of Adrian Flux but would start with KM.

Neither will insure him unfortunately (too young)

Yes unfortunately for him it’s the worst combination of issues.
A quick Google came up with “ All young drivers “ website which may be worth a look if you haven’t already.

Or try Think Insurance - they offer policies for those age 18+ with convictions supposedly
If neither of those can quote then you’re on your own I fear.

Thanks but neither of those can help.
I knew it would be difficult & expensive but it’s actually impossible.
It’s only for a 125cc motorcycle as well

Aaah. Oops.

Quite rightly, this isn’t easy, but there’ll be a solution somewhere.
