I have received six points on my licence - how will this affect my insurance premium?
Last year my wife was critically ill in hospital. I visited every day - a 40-mile round trip along unfamiliar roads. Somehow I managed to pick up three 35mph speeding tickets at a point where the limit goes from 50mph to 30mph. One of which was cancelled by going on a speed awareness course. I paid up for the other two. How will my unblemished insurance record be affected?

Oh dear, that is unfortunate. It might not affect it as much as you think, the first three points do not have much of an effect, but the second three will. You will probably get around a 15-20 per cent increase.
