Hmm, it ammounts to what a conviction means. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conviction http://www.google.co.uk/dictionary?aq=f&langpair=en|en&hl=en&q=conviction If you don't go to court, are you "convicted". -- Bruce Porter XJR1300SP, XJ900F, GSX250, Pegaso 650 Trail POTM#1(KoTL), WUSS#1 , YTC#1(bar), OSOS#2(KoTL) , DS#3 , IbW#18 ,Apostle#8 "The internet is a huge and diverse community and not every one is friendly" http://www.ytc1.co.uk There *is* an alternative! http://www.openoffice.org/

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.
