Speed awareness - notifying insurance

[nonuts]

Strange question, I've just been trying to sort out the insurance renewal.

Admiral want to know if I've been on a speed awareness course in the last 5 years.

I have been on a speed awareness course, but I have no idea when it was, I do know it was over 3 1/2 years ago as I know when I wrote the car off. I've just spent ages trying to figure out when it was from old emails etc. but I can't find any clue at all. Two questions spring to mind:

1)Any ideas how I can find out when I did it? (I think I know where I did it so I'll try and call them tomorrow)
2)Does the speed awareness course actually count as a conviction?

You can't remember when you wrote your car off? Jeez. Assume 6 month after you did it. It is not a conviction.

Maybe read what I wrote again, I know when I wrote the car off, I just have idea when I did the speed awareness course.

Well that was a fun conversation, put the policy up by £80, the aadrivetech people don't keep records for 5 years so unless I can find the letter with the day I have to assume I did do it in the last 5 years. To be fair Admiral said they'd refund the difference if I can confirm the date and it was more than 5 years ago.

I got caught doing 35mph from memory in the limehouse link and was offered the course.

So, out of interest (and fair play to you for being honest) - how would Admiral know?

No idea, but I'd rather not take the chance of having invalidated my insurance...

As to whether they should or shouldn't I hope it's up to them who they choose to insure and how, they were still over £100 cheaper than the next cheapest quote.

Since there is no possible way for the insurance companies to find out whether you've been on a SAC or not, what incentive is there to tell them?

Because what's to say the speed awareness folks haven't sent one hell of a long list to the insurance companies, then I write off my car through no fault of my own and they invalidate my insurance?

I really don't get people that don't want to be 100% sure there insurance is valid, it's almost as bad as just not bothering with insurance in the first place.
