Hmm, it ammounts to what a conviction means.

If you don't go to court, are you "convicted".

Oh, I would and do declare any points as it seems to make little
difference to insurance prices.

Last time I renewed my car insurance I recall the points question being
seperate from the convictions question.

I don't equate points equalling a conviction as all the CRB checks I've
had done over the years have never come back with me having a conviction
due to points on my licence.
