Hello all,
Sadly, on Friday night I stupidly decided to drive home after drinking 3 pints. I crashed my car on the way home, no-one was involved but myself and a barrier. The police arrived at the scene and I blew a 61 on the breathalyser which was also confirmed at the station. I am now facing conviction for drink driving. I'm fully aware I will be receive a ban for this and have accepted what the legal consequences will be.
I have a question regarding my insurance. I submitted a claim today for my vehicle which has sustained severe front end damage, when filling in the claim form it didn't seem to ask me to state if the accident was a result of drink driving, but on my policy I believe I am not covered for this situation, do I need to tell them? And will they find out if I don't? The repairs are likely to very expensive and will cripple me financially if my insurance does not cover it.
Any help would be appreciated,
Thanks.
