Car insurance quote finder asks

Website moneysupermarket.com asks about my driving licence record ("Have you committed any driving offences or had any Fixed Penalty Notices in the last 5 years?").

I have a EU licence so such record isn't available for me. I want to make sure I'm not forgetting any Fixed Penalty Notice I got in the past 5 years (I don't have a great memory). What can I do?

    If the record isn't available for you, is it available for the insurers?

    Have you ever had any fixed penalty notices, or do you genuinely have no idea? Can't you check your banking records for paying such penalties? Or ask people in your life who may have a better idea of what you've done in the past 5 years than you do? Or check your emails?

    I know about one 1 year ago and I know I had others since I started driving but I can't guarantee the others occured before or after 5 years ago.

    Emails: nope, it's all via printed letters posted to my physical address. No email traces.

    Bank accounts: I already searched using "fpn", "penalty", "police", "payment". Nothing. I don't know which caption/label was used for these fines..
