L Plate said:Sorry but i would back him up on that though, and in my experience when they have asked they have never mentioned whether it had to have been in the last 5 years, i suspect this is so they trick you into telling them thinking that its only a penalty if its within the last 5 years, when lets face it, if they are underwriting your insurance they can charge you what they want
However on the online applications and search forms it normally states specifically "in the last 5 years"
My insurance quotation this year clearly states DR10. I am no longer paying for the DR10.
Whilst on the phone the guy said "you have one conviction but it was Feb 01 so no longer affects your premium"
Only once have I ever been asked if I have "any" convictions. That was when I received an insurance quotation of £5,500 for a £5,000 GTIR
Needless to say I doubt they get much business. I believe if you tell one company they will have that information. If you don't tell them they won't find out until crunch time.
