It is important to remember that one in every driver has some sort of traffic conviction on their license, and this doesn’t necessary mean that they are any worse drivers than someone without a conviction. For this reason many insurance companies will still provide van insurance for drivers with previous convictions, but you must ensure that you notify the provider when you apply for a quote, as a failure to inform your insurance provider of previous convictions can lead to your insurance being invalid.
When you apply for a policy most insurance companies will ask you if you have had any previous convictions before they give you a final quote, and if you omit any details at this stage not only can it affect on your insurance, but you will also be in effect misleading your insurance provider and this can have legal implications in terms of fraud as well.
