At what point do you need to tell your car insurance company about an impending prosecution?

I am dealing with a matter which is likely to go to court, however I have as yet, had no court summons, and the decision has not *yet* been made by the CPS.

Do I need to notify my insurance company now or later?

Not a lawyer but innocent until proven guilty?

For motoring convictions usually at renewal unless it results in a ban or disqualification then that should be immediate notification.
It may vary per insurers but it will tell you in your policy booklet.

Insurer's ask about pending convictions.

But does this mean that you only need to tell them of certain pending convictions or what?

At the point specified in your contract.
