Cheap car insurance will be hard to get for drink driver

A drink driver who crashed into an off-duty policeman's car has been jailed for two years.

The 21-year-old from Cromer may find it very difficult to get a cheap car insurance quote after appearing at Norwich Crown Court for a string of serious driving offences.

Not only did the young driver steal a white Escort van but he drove on the wrong side of the road, at speeds of up to 90mph and crashed into an off duty policeman's vehicle. When later tested for dinking under the influence of alcohol, he was shown to be more than twice over the legal limit.

When sentencing him the judge said: "You have a dreadful record. You drove like a lunatic. Behaviour like this is frightening. If you go on like this you will kill someone.

"People like you just don't get the message. You are completely selfish and don't care."

In the future, the man is likely to struggle when it comes to finding a cheap car insurance quote as many UK motor insurance companies will consider him a very high risk and put up his premium accordingly.
