When I had an SP30 I called the insurance company and asked if they rated for SP30, the answer a clear "no" so i went through the quote claiming I had no speeding points but was just interested, and then after the price was given I remembered suddenly I had an SP30 and gave her the details. Kerching, to her "surprise" the price went up.
So they will lie about it, make sure you don't believe what they say...

Might get a SAC for that i would've thought?
I got offered on for 38 in a 30
It would be nice if they did but I don't know what the parameters are for being offered it.I got offered on for 38 in a 30
I got caught speeding 10 years ago (40 in a 30) so perhaps they see me as a habitual criminal know and I've been driving for 30 years so I should now better by now really, or atleast that may be the way they see it.
I've just realised that I'm doing this all wrong.
This being PH I should shout about how it's only 7 MPH and how these cameras should be out taking photos of real criminals.

LV were my cheapest quote by some margin so this may be their opportunity to get some more cash from me.
If you've not done a SAC or had points for speeding in the past three years you could well be offered a SAC, I got one for 39 in a 30 in the Met area. Make sure you return the form reasonably quickly as you only get 3 months from the offence to completing the course. Despite what people say on here insurance will rape you and if you have more than one policy or are a named driver that's multiple rapes.

You will probably be offered a speed awareness course. Speed awareness courses are normally offered at speeds up to and including 10% + 8mph (ie you get points for the more often quoted 10%+9).
Unless you are in Scotland, where SACs have not yet been invented.
Lets hope so.Unless you are in Scotland, where SACs have not yet been invented.
I'll post the letter back early next week and see.
I got a speed awareness course for 38 in a 30. So if you fit Streaky's parameters, you should be offered one too.
£92 fee in my county, but saved me three points and a fine, so my licence is still clean.
Went on a different speed awareness course the next day - track day at Cadwell Park.
