I got a text from the officer in charge saying the wait for the bloods will still be some time (no timescale specified) but did say they will let me know when they come through.
@Milly22 I am in a similar situation and my car insurance is due for renewal too. I have been completely upfront with the insurance company and the increase in premium is minimal (I think because nothing has been proved yet as I have no results) it may be the same for you. My solicitor advised me to retain the insurance until anything is definite on your results. I wouldn't pay a full year at once though, for obvious reasons.
It is a pain that we will have to renew only to cancel (or the insurance company and DVLA/court will cancel/invalidate the insurance for us anyway!) but until something is proven it seems sensible to hang on to it, especially if you have a working vehicle (I don't have any car, I wrote it off in the DUI accident, but my solicitor told me to keep paying the insurance until things are concrete). This means for me that if my bloods show I am under the limit (unlikely, to be honest, but also covers me if the results are not back within the 6 month time to lodge the case in court). If I cancelled the insurance now then I am immediately liable for everything - I will be anyway if I am over the limit but it is sensible to hang on to it for me, if your situation is similar it may be sensible for you too. I am just passing on the logic that my solicitor gave me, if it helps. Of course each situation is different.
Hope that helps
@Milly22! Stay strong
@Milly22 and
@Donwon, we three are the waiting fellowship and we will get through this!
