Points on license

Options
Hi just a quick question.
Hubby got delivered today 3 points (very kind - 39mph in a 30 mph zone - in a deserted tunnel 4 am) :)
We need to notify our insurances but wondered will our premium go up straight away or just at renewal?
Thanks

    They only remai current for three years but stay on the licence for four. When did you take out the insurance? When he gets the new points added he will have a full licence with three points when anyone does a DVLA check.

    Yes but insurers take them into account for 5 years :(

    He renewed his Insurance 6 months ago I renewed mine last week and he was caught speeding 5 days earlier (even though he only realized today when he got the letter!
    Maybe I' ve got a good excuse to stop him driving my car ;)

    What Police Force was it?

    What colour is the NIP?

    He may get offered a speed awareness course.

    read your policy, generally convictions only need to be declared at renewal.

    Met run them and 39 in a 30 is the top end, you may be lucky.

    Thanks I will check his ins, but mine will need to be declared now because he got the pints 'officially' before I renewed

    Is it the first NIP to the registered keeper asking who was driving?
