I was given a SP30 Fixed Penalty Notice 2 weeks after passing my test. I managed to get to the last week of my 2 year probation period but foolishly got caught speeding on the motorway and was slapped with a SP50, £60 fine and a further 3 points, taking my total tally to 6. In turn, my license has been revoked and i am now in the process of booking tests. However, I have not yet informed my insurance company (about the second lot of 3 points). I have spoke to them and the guy on the phone told me there wouldnt be any increase in my premiums by declaring the points, but i have been researching on the net and the most common theory is to expect a 25 - 55% increase. Has anyone been in a simliar situation or could advice me further? Cheers
