Looks like my nice clean licence is going to get 3 points. On a Sunday as well, *******.

Doh! Where, and for what?

Some insurance companies won't be too worried by a single speeding transgression, shouldn't think it'll cost you too much extra.

Just keep your nose extra clean now!

Don't you believe it. And tell them if you do get three points - don't wait for then renewal notice before telling them. I've been doing a lot of quotes for my new car and I actually found my premium went up because I had one claim about 15 months ago - despite this being a 'no fault' with all my excess / expenses recovered from the other parties insurance company - on that basis, they could certainly increase your premium for having 3 points. It's a bit of a myth that 3 points won't make a difference to your insurance.

I'm just going on what L&V told me last month. They said as long as it's a single speeding offence and no more than 3 points we aren't interested in hearing about it. I did try to tell them though.

I agree it's important to tell your insurer if your circumstances change, but in my case an SP50 (84mph on the Motorway) with 3 points resulted in no additional loading whatsoever.

Which was nice.
