alot of places won't take anyone that's got a IN10 or DR as there insurance won't have it, best thing to do is tell them strait up as not to waste anyone's time, Good luck man 👍

It’s probably not as bad as a drink driving ban but it could cause you some problems especially with Class 1

Depends on the individual company’s Insurance, If they can, they might need to put you as a named driver, & it may put the excess up for you.

IN10 generally come with 6 points and £180 fine I had it happen to me when I first passed my car test then I had a clean licence for 1 month when I was pulled over driving a work van and turns out my bosses insurance didn’t cover me because I was 24 and 11 months and his insurance cover was for 25+ so I ended up with 6 point and another £180 fine 😂

It definitely won't make getting a job easier, that's for sure.
A lot of insurance companies ask if you've had a DR or IN 10 conviction in either the last 5 or 10 years.
You learn by your mistakes that's for sure.....I'm speaking from experience!
As said above, a lot of the big companies self insure so may be the best route for you.
Good luck.

How can they ask about the last 10 years if its not on your record any more? Even drinking and driving is gone after 5, and doesnt show up on your criminal record either, so if you were going to be honest, you might not even know the dates yourself.

it's not on your driving license but it is on your driving history with DVLA.....
Depending on the insurance company, some ask if you've had any disqualification for IN10 or Drink Driving in the last 10 years......at least that was the case when I got a ban, quite a few years ago now when I was 18!
May have changed, havent had any points since!

I had 9 points but after 3 years three of those points expired, I have seen some posts on job sites stating no more than 6 points but nothing about driving codes, so not sure if they e accidentally left them out or that company don't mind conviction codes 🤔

in my experience, when you apply for the job, be honest with the company who is advertising the job, if you are offered a job, that's when they get in touch with their insurance company and you get to the bit where they ask any accidents in the last 3/5/10 years, any convictions or disqualification in the last 3/5/10 years.......depends on the company.
Good luck

I employ a driver who has IN10 on his licence, it’s costs me a little more to insure him but nothing major.

Most won’t accept you with 6 or more points, and there’s a few that limit it at 3, so I’d say you’ll really struggle while the points are on your licence, but ultimately I don’t think the conviction will help even after the points are gone..

Ring some local agency’s and ask them. But doubt they’ll take you on. In most cases it’s not the employer it’s the insurer and being a new pass will make it even harder

Some places don’t mind. I had a IN10 with 6 points and had two HGV jobs they’re expired now but I still had them on my licence when I started the job I’m currently in.

Our fleet insurance only stipulated we contact them if a driver has more than 6 points. No mention of DR or NI in our small print??
Although I would double check before I employed someone with these codes.

Tbf I’d of thought it would cause u big trouble. Not insuring your personal vehicle is totally your fault and responsibility to have done. Therefore there is nobody else to blame. So, I’m afraid a respectable employer would likely see this as a disregard for road laws and not wanna take risk on ya driving their vehicles.
If I was u, I’d let the conviction happen in sept, said a while and then try it all. Because right now and soon after conviction is when ya least likely I’d of thought.
Good luck with it all anyway, we all make mistakes or take risks.

Having an IN10 (driving without insurance) conviction on your record could potentially cause difficulties in obtaining a job that requires a clean driving record, especially in the transportation industry. However, the impact on your job prospects will depend on the specific employer, the job requirements, and the nature of the conviction.

For jobs in the transportation industry, employers often require drivers to have a clean driving record and may perform a background check on your driving history. Having an IN10 conviction on your record could raise concerns about your responsibility and reliability as a driver, which may make it more difficult to obtain certain driving-related jobs.

However, if the job you're applying for doesn't require driving or if the employer places less emphasis on driving records, the IN10 conviction may have less of an impact on your job prospects.

It's important to be upfront and honest about your conviction when applying for jobs, as employers will likely conduct background checks to verify your driving record. Depending on the employer's policies and the nature of the job, they may be willing to overlook minor convictions or consider other factors such as your qualifications, experience, and character.

Overall, having an IN10 conviction on your record may limit your job prospects in certain industries, but it doesn't necessarily mean that you won't be able to find employment. It's important to be honest about your conviction and to focus on building a strong resume and skillset to increase your chances of finding a job.
