Been caught speeding £60 fine and 3 points, but the police officer seemed to think it wont increase my insurance, he said its only 6 points+ that increases it. That true??

Thanks

Just noticed he put my car down as silver and its blue anthracite lol.

yep my insurance went up dude

150 quid more come renewal time, even after gaining 1 yrs no claims

now av got the gti am paying 870, would be cheaper if i didnt have the point

tho, theyve been on mi license a while now

I'm gutted, just got it in the neck of the parents aswel. Ill have 2 no claims by the time this policy is up.

The cop was i such a shit place where the speed changes from 30 to 60 on a country lane.

sounds same as me mate

what were you doing if you dont mind me asking?

i never saw the van that got me doing 34

i was gutted when i saw the NIP in the post, wanted to sell the GT n everything

mum n dad supported me really...just one of those things, you learn from your mistakes, just shit it stays with you for 3 years

with 2 years no claims, it shudnt be too bad dude

Got clocked at 50.71mph going into a 60 from a 30, the van in front was doing well above that though. Yeah I'm dreading my re-newing my insurance though.

He also though my car was silver though (even wrote it on he form) its like a dark grey lol.... if that will do anything??

Have i got to phone the insurance company I'm currently with to let them know aswel??

My fella got an SP50 last year 3 points and £60 fine. The policeman said same to him that his insurance wouldn't go up but we had a look on net with his insurance company and did a new quote so when he comes to renew it it goes from £800 to £1500 with 2 years ncb so he's gonna have to shop around bit.

Oh no youve got me worried now, i hope it doesnt go up that much, or i can kiss goodbye to getting coilies

putting the wrong colcour does invalidate that though,....

Popular myth :) Wrong colour car on a NIP makes no difference, especially if the reg is correct and there's a photo of the offence taking place.

You could try and convince a court, but it wouldn't stand a snowball in hell's chance...

Yeah what he said, get 6 points if i took it to court. He brought up the speed and distance on his computer but not if there was a photo (should ask for a copy lol)

I currently have a sp30, 3 points and 160 quid fine and a court appearance (because i was stupid enough to ignore the NIP)

My insurance has gone up by £20 per month. Pretty shit, But could be worse i guess.

my mate got 3 points for overtaking wher he shouldnt, so to insure his next car (focus rs) without points: 1400, with points: 1900

For first time drivers, 17/18.. you can expect to pay around £500 extra per 3 points.

Do I have to tell the insurance company that I'm with now?? Or is it when you just get a new quote??

grey...silver... same thing

stays on your licence for 3 years.... most insurers take it into consideration for 5 years (as most will ask you 'any motoring convictions in the past 5 years?'), but always shop around come renewal time... all my premiums have been more to renew than their inital cost, so i just went elsewhere!

My insurance doubled when I got my IN10 and LC20 I'm paying £170 a month on the Olop. TPFT.

Didnt make a huge dif to me when i got an SP10 (I think) 3pts, 60quid. Over the 3-5yrs it proberly adds up though. I was more worried about getting caught again in the first 2yrs and getting banned.

So whats all the different codes for?? I never got told which code I got or do i find that out when i get my licence back?? He just said 3points and £60 fine.

Depends what you got caught for.

Were you doing 100mph on a 30mph road or 35mph on a 30mph road???

mine didnt go up too much, think you kinda get let off for first three. make it six and goes up a lot then.

How long does it take to get drivers liecence back??

got a sp30, £150 fine ...no points but a ban for a month ...no change in insurance at all.

no my 2nd driver has hit someone and the other people are claiming, would that mean i lose my 3 years unprotected no claims? and insurance increase? ...when its not even my fault. grr.
