A typical fixed penalty for speeding is three points and a £100 fine, although circumstances vary. for somebody newly qualified, those points matter more because six points within your opening two years can revoke the licence.
One ticket does not usually reach six points by itself
A standard three-point speeding penalty leaves very little room for another endorsable mistake during the new-driver period. More serious speeding can be dealt with differently.
A course may sometimes be offered
Police may offer a speed-awareness course in suitable cases, but it is discretionary and subject to eligibility.
Insurance questions must be answered accurately
Convictions and courses can be asked about in different ways. Read the exact question at quotation and renewal.
After points or a conviction, shopping around can become more important because insurers may react differently to the same driving history.
