Any ins co I've ever dealt with asks the standard question "Any
accidents, claims or convictions in the last x years" for which the
latter definitely included points.

So if you got 3 points for either speeding or perhaps an illegal tyre
you wouldn't declare this when asked the above question?

So if you're asked to declare all convictions in the last 5 years you
don't mention points?

My ex got done twice within an hour - by the same camera van in the
same place.

ITYF if you make a claim these days, one of the things they do is call
DVLA, with you on the 'phone at the same time. If you haven't declared
any points be prepared for a % reduction in any payout. DAMHIKT.
