Do you have to inform your insurer that you've attended a speed awareness course?
Do you have to inform your insurer that you've attended a speed awareness course if they don't ask? I understand that the police have this information but are bound by the data protection act, so how can the insurance companies obtain the details if they have not asked?

If your insurer doesn't specifically ask, you don't have to declare it. If your insurer specifically asks, then you have to declare it. But at that point it's worth checking around to see if you can get a better rate from an insurer that doesn't ask you to declare it, remembering that declaring it could increase your premium by £100.

I got a red light fine but I went to a speed awareness course so assumed I didn't need to declare it to my insurer (Admiral). But they found out and want to charge me £320. What can I do now?
I was recently caught and sent a speeding notice for doing 80mph on a dual carriageway. I accept this but, should I let my insurers know and also is it best to pay the fine/take the points or the driver...
Am I required to declare a speeding conviction when I renew my car insurance when I accepted the "Drive Awareness" course incurring no points?
