I just collected a ticket for speeding on the motorway. There was no code on the fixed penalty letter I received, it just said 'Speeding on a motorway' or something like that. It is 3 points/£100. When should I tell my insurer? Now, or when I get my driving licence back from the Police? (not sure what they do with it since everything is electronic nowadays?).

I don't have a code for the offence, so what do I tell the insurer?

Thanks.

Thanks guys. I just want to ensure I remain legal. I'm not trying to avoid any costs if they wish to add them (at renewal or whenever). Serves me right for being a blind bat (well it was an unmarked car, but still I should have had tingling spidey-senses when passing it).

Well i've told both insurers, no effect on current policy as has been stated. Now its in the system and recorded so I can't forget too.

They come at renewal time. biggrin
For his first speeding offence? Even that's going to be unlikely. I hope the OP posts back on here after renewal.
Really? As in, one speeding offence doesn't make much difference to insurance premiums?

I hope I'll never find out, but that's kinda comforting.
I'm also a named driver on my wife's Fester, which is up for renewal on 1/12. I will let you know if they hike the current renewal quote.
