You might as well tell them now - it would be odd if they said, "right that's another £100 then", they're more likely to tell you to let them know come renewal time, but at least you won't be accused of withholding information if you do have to make a claim in the meantime.

Yep, spot on Mungo. Be on the safe side and tell them.

I've always told them ASAP. They have never increased the premium but of course it affects the renewal quote!

Are these the only points on your license John? I had 4-points on my license for the first two years of ownership. It wade about a £50 difference on both quotes. An SP30 is nothing too worry about, unless your insurers are barstewards.

Notify them to keep yourself on the straight and narrow. So, you been a naughty boy then

Wasn't on the Glenrothes road by chance. The little sneaky beggers nearly stung me a few weeks back on my way back from Ellie harbour.

I spotted two vans patrolling that road (opposite directions) and I've heard they're always lurking around there.

I thought you were too goody-two-shoes for that kinf of behavour. Not very becoming of a Doctor

I am really quite well behaved Mostly

It is so easy to curl your toes to get by slower traffic to let an inpatient biker with full beam on get past. I suppose the vans don't read their plates

Duty of disclosure on most policies means you only have to inform an insurer of changes at renewal. This incudes mods too believe it or not.

Personally I'd tell them now...it shouldn't affect the policy until renewal, but at least you've told them....saves overlooking the incidents/conviction at renewal date ...

If it's an accident/claim you have to notify as they are the terms and conditions of all policies, but as I have already said no insurer should load mid-term. Remember the risk for the underwriter is assessed at inception/renewal of the policy and the contract is for the period of the policy (usually 12 months). Please don't go testing me on things like 'but if I add a driver the premium changes!' This is not the same thing, trust me I am an insurance man!
