Car insurance news

Model might not qualify for cheap car insurance

Model Caprice has decided to sell her car on eBay after being banned for drink-driving.

In the future she may risk losing her cheap car insurance but for now Caprice looks set to make a few quid by selling her Mercedes SLK on the auction website eBay.

The Californian born model was arrested in London last December after testing positive for drink-driving and hopes to make £30,000 by selling her car.

Caprice was given a twelve month ban at Highbury Corner Magistrates' Court on Friday 25th August and was ordered to pay a £1,000 fine.

Judge Emma Arbuth told the court, "She was a drunk driver who must have known that she was at risk of being over the limit. That must have be very obvious from the large amounts of alcohol she drank that day. She drank, took the risk and got caught."

Since the 34-year-old no longer has the need for her vehicle and her women's car insurance, she has announced that she will be selling the Mercedes on eBay.

In the future, most cheap car insurance providers might refuse Caprice affordable ladies insurance because of her twelve month ban. The model may find that she has to shop around for the best woman car insurance deals to avoid paying expensive premiums.
