car insurance

does it need to increase if you had a year ban for drink driving but didnt cause any accident or dont need to resit your test?
thanks

Yes it would increase because underwriters would deem you a higher risk to insure if you have been a drink driver even if you have not caused an accident. At the end of the day drink driving is against the law regardless of an accident or not so insurers have to cover themselves in case it were to happen again by increasing premiums.
