Afternoon all!
I would appreciate some advice or shared experiences.
I'm a Type 1 Diabetic and, following a traumatic brain injury (prompted by a bad hypo) and surgery, the DVLA are revoking my driving licence for a period of time. Although I'm frustrated by this as I have made a full recovery, the DVLA are working within their very blunt rules so I understand the situation.
My problem (apart from the daily commute to work which is now much more problematic) is that I know I now have to inform my insurance company that I do not hold a valid licence until the time period has passed and I can re-apply to the DVLA. I'm the policy holder and the only driver on the policy as my wife does not drive. I'm wondering whether the insurance company is likely to be able to continue to insure the car for me but only as a static object until I get my licence back, or will they simply say they can no longer insure it?
The matter is made more complicated as the car is on a PCP finance deal and there is a stipulation from the finance company that it should be fully comprehensively insured.
Any experience or advice to share?
