Going back a while, I got captured on the M74 in Scotland. Classic trap of siting a camera on a prominent road bridge, then another 5 miles further on, not quite so prominent. Safety or revenue gathering still got caught at 81mph. £60 fine and 3 points. I had business insurance because I used my car for work so I told insurer who promptly charge me £75 increase. Talk about as one door closes another slams in your face. Doing about 30k mpa the odds were against me. Over a 20 year period after so called safety cameras were deployed I was caught about 5 times for fixed penalty offences. Never high speed but my inattention was punished. Never had a serious crash ever, a couple of very minor bumps. Consider myself a decent driver and now not working and dashing about I take extra time and care.

The Admiral group used to ask for information on courses. They stopped a couple of years ago and as far as I know no other insurers ask the question. However, as mentioned, check your policy. Because the DVLA may not have a record is no reason for non-declaration and it will land you in trouble if it is discovered following your having an accident. The police certainly keep a register of courses taken so as to ensure you can only do one of the same type within three years.

Surely this register is subject to GDPR and such information cannot be disclosed without permission? I know it's probably not been tested, but companies like Admiral are relying on honesty when they've no way of obtaining such information. It's just a cynical excuse to jack up premiums IMO.

As for press reports premiums were dropping, this is rubbish too. Wife's went up by £70 even with a lower declared mileage.
