DVLA has suspended my driving licence - is my car insurance still valid?
My son is a named driver on my car insurance policy, but the DVLA has stopped my driving licence as I had a medical problem following an accident. Is my car insurance still valid?

A driver requires a valid licence to take out car insurance. If your licence has been revoked or suspended by the DVLA then your insurance will most likely be void, but you will need to check this with your insurer (and also inform them of your change in circumstances).

I've been involved in an accident two days ago. When the police took my details they have found out that my driving licence was revoked seven years ago, of which I obviously didn't know. I've contacted...
To insure our Fiat 500C last year was £209 but this year the lowest quote anywhere is £354. That's with no changes or claims. Please can you explain this 70% increase?
Can a no-claims bonus run out? I sold my car 18 months ago and I'm still waiting for its replacement to arrive. What will happen if I don't take out a new policy in the next 12 months?
