Only it's two dceades since I had any... Count for 3 on for 5. Some ins co ask for convictions in the last 5 years though. On a slightly different note, I insured the K5 in Feb through Autonet via the comparison website bikeinsurer.tv. Bikeinsurer asked for claims/convictions in the last 3 years. Your details then get pre-populated on Autonet when you click through. So I buy the policy then 7 days later get a letter saying they want another �40 on top of the �130 premium for an accident 5 years ago. Lots of time on hold to their 0870 number resulted in me telling them to shove it purely out of stubborn principal. -- Daz

Tog, that's why it is *always* worth trying to twist and turn and beat the system. IMHO of course. One gnarly copper disgruntled with your London riding habits now and you get a year in the Sin Bin. Assuming it is still 6 for Careless. -- Hog

On for four years and points does not equal a conviction. |
