Do speed awareness courses affect your insurance?
When drivers are caught speeding by the police, sometimes they are offered the option of attending a National Speed Awareness course, instead of a fine and penalty points. But does this mean that their car insurance premiums will go up? Do you always have to tell your insurance company about speed awareness courses?
No, a speed awareness course is not considered a driving conviction. For certain speeding offences, you are likely to be offered the opportunity to attend a speed awareness course instead of a fine and penalty points on your driving licence. For example, if it is your first offence in the previous three years, and the incident has been within a specific speed range (eg: up to 42 mph in a 30 mph zone). If the speeding incident has not led to any criminal charges against the driver, then a speed awareness course may be the preferred method of rehabilitation.
