Car Insurance - Taking into account foreign driving experience

Does anybody know of any UK car insurance company that will take my foreign (non EC) driving experience (15 years) into account? I only got my UK license a year ago so insurance quotes are very high.

Royal & SunAlliance do this. The insurance broker has accepted my non-EC driving licence. Also they have just accepted my statement that I had had no claims in my country and can not prove it as insurance was not compulsory there at the moment.

this seems somewhat peverse.

You can't prove you had a no cliams because you might not have had insurance.

But if you had no insurance you couldn't have had any claims because you had nothing to claim off.

Build up your no claims by not buying insurance

Unbelievably Crazy.

He doesnt actually say that he has obtained a NCB, just that he was able to get insurance on the basis that he had made no claims. Could that be it?

Correct. No claims, as there was no insurance to claim off, and no accidents. Both facts were taken as is and NCB was given.

Another interesting observation is that UK drivers are obliged to prove they are innocent (or othervise) -- in my home country the driving licence counterparts had been abolished by the supreme court, as the law says nobody can be compelled to testify against himself.

I've tried both Tesco and Roya Sun Alliance

and they both asked for a "number of years you had your full UK license"
