Do points on licence affect your insurence ?

[Pich]

Hi
I have just got in from work and found i have been caught speeding doing 40 in a 30,
i will probly get 3 points on my licence and a i think £80 fine.
I am just about to get my 172 in a few weeks and the insurence is loads,
so i wanted to know if this will effect my insurence in any way, i.e make it more exspensive ?
Can anyone shed any light ?

Not sure just 3 points will affect it much but you still have to declare them to your insurance company by law....

yes it will first 3 usually hardly affect it but if your young they may just not cover you. you have to tell them though

3 points you should be ok,

6 and ur foooked!!!

 

[McBunny]

for me 6 didnt do much either but it all depends on offence codes and types of car i find

If you're doing online quotes, do one quote with the points and do one without.

Doing that, my quotes were about 5-10% higher with 3 points, but I'm only 21 at. Generally, when you're experience, as said above, 3 points wont make any difference as a lot of people have them now.

Young driver with 3 points can go one of 2 ways, either makes no difference at all, or the price sky rockets.

Yes

Depends what insurance company though..Admiral for instance are great if you've got a clean licence , get even three though and they'll hike it up by £200/300
