If you’ve been penalised for driving under the influence, you’ve no doubt received penalty points on your licence, a substantial fine, an increase in insurance costs, and possibly a driving disqualification.
Whether you’re renewing your car insurance or you’re looking to get back on the road again after a driving ban, you’re probably struggling to find an insurance company that will cover you, let alone offer an affordable premium.
That’s where Complete Cover Group comes in.

Drink-drive alcohol limits in the UK
In England, Wales, and Northern Ireland, the legal limit is 80 milligrams of alcohol for every 100 millilitres of blood in your body, 35 micrograms per 100 millilitres of breath, or 107 milligrammes per 100 millilitres of urine. In Scotland, the limit is 50 milligrammes of alcohol per 100 millilitres of blood, 22 micrograms of alcohol per 100 millilitres of breath, and 67 milligrammes per 100 millilitres of urine (Source: Drinkaware)
Failure to comply with these limitations can lead to a penalty fine of up to £5000 and/or six months’ imprisonment and a disqualification of at least 12 months for the first offence.
Having a drink driving conviction on your licence can make it extremely hard to find car insurance cover at an affordable price.
