Speeding points question
My sister has been caught on a speed camera. She has had a letter saying she can accept points or pay £80 and attend a speed awareness course.
Shes thinking of going on the course so she wont increase her insurance premium but I thought you had to declare if you had recieved a speeding conviction when you take out or renew insurance wether or not you get points on your licence.
So the question is - If she still has to declare the conviction, what is the benefit of going on the course and paying the £80 as her premium will still rise.
Does anyone know how it works please

There is no conviction if you opt for the course. However some insurance companies have got wise to this and started asking if a speeding/driver course has been attended.0
