With 3 points mine increased by 10% for 5 years! (which when your paying over 1K adds up) i think that any more points you get over 3 the % increase is less.

Anyway it was enought to make me buy an Origin B2.

I think you are supposed to inform them of any changes in your circumstances straight away - check you documents.

Adrian Flux said "3 points for speeding shouldn't cause an increase, everyone's got 3 these days!" (Not me BTW) :toucheswood:

SP50 on mine with 6, made a huge difference :s I think SP50 gets a bigger increase than SP30 (stupid IMO cos speeding on a motorway (SP50) is different to speeding in an urban area or outside a school or somethin!)

Picks up the vans using a radar detector, although supposedly by the time it goes off its too late they have got you.

Its saved my bacon detecting Gatsos, especially when driving in the dark.

i think what we all need is some sort of automatic countermeasure.. say a laser seeking missile..

it'd be pricey but worth it..

vans are all laser these days i think..
