Uptowngirl   10 #90 Posted September 16, 2013 OK, I been a naughty boy, I got caught doing 79mph on a motorway and now I have a choice. I can go on a speed awareness course or I can have 3 points on my licence.  If I go for the speed awareness course it will cost £85, however if I go for the 3 points it will cost £60 and 3 points.  On paper it seems the £60 is the obvious punishment, however if I have 3 points does this mean I have to pay more for car insurances premiums?  Obviously, we want to keep our household costs down, and the last thing we want is a silly hike in our insurance because of a minor speeding offence   If you are offered a course go for it. You are lucky to be offered at 79mph.  All points count on your insurance and there is always a chance that 3 can become 6 etc.  I currently have 15 points, and believe me that puts your premium right through the roof.
