Yes, I have always declared the points when insuring and have always had insurance.

Yep new application with photo going in the post tomorrow. Awaiting Insurance company to call me back and will update you all when I know more

The policy actually states - " Provided that the person driving holds a license tio drive the vehicle or has held and is not disqualifies from holding or obtaining such a licence" Do you think this covers me? Any help/advice much appreciated.

thank you so much for your replies. You've given me at least a little hope and something to go on. Will check through my policy now

Anyone???Please

Just wondering if anyone can advise? After 20 years of trouble free driving I got caught by a speed camera and got an SP30 with 3 points in April 2009. I paid the fine and at some point remeber reading that I needed to send my license in to have the points put on. I never got round to sending it in and when I thought about it I presumed as I had not heard again, that it wasn't that important - presumed it was all compuerised anyway. Things were fine until I had an accident 2 weeks ago. My insurance company put me thorough to DVLA on a conference call to check out my License. During this call DVLA advised me that they needed to speak to me without the Ins. Co so I rang them immediately. They informed me that because I never sent the paper license in, that it had been revoked. Obviously, I was only ever going to discover this when I had an accident or got further points. I am contacting my insurance company but I have a feeling that this is going to invalidate my insurance. I have always declared my points on my insurance. I can reapply for the license immediately at no charge and and i do not have to re-do my test or anything. Anyone any comment/advise on this I would be extremely grateful.
