exactly. Ive had 2 "bans" in my time, once for being insane (well technically licence revoked not a ban but declarable and treated the same) and i was pretty much uninsurable for a year afterwards with quotes twice what a drink driver would get
totally unfair IMO a drink driver is more of a risk than someone whos had a professional say they are safe to drive.
And a totting up which wasnt as bad as drink driving
but still pretty steep.
