The postie has just dropped off my NIP for doing 37 in a 30 zone. I

Thursday that I had been caught.


Is there any point in attending these rather than paying the fine and
taking the points?

The original idea seemed to be that, by attending the course, you would
avoid the points - and any insurance implications.

But most insurance companies now want to know that you have attended
the
course - so there's no longer any advantage, unless you're in danger of
being a "totter".

Half of my insurance companies never asked for points, the others
didn't check :-)

I think you may be obliged by law to tell them, not sure tho. In any
case, it would provide an excuse for them to invalidate your insurance.
What does their small print say?

Usually something along the lines of "If you fail to tell us about
*anything*, or change your address or any other detail, we'll cancel
your insurance."

I'd just say I forgot, although they never noticed.
