| Frank,
you should check with a couple of insurance companies anyway (just ring around for quotes) as my experience has been that they usually disregard one speeding offence.
I used to have a TS10 (going through a red light - long story which I won't go into here), which got me 3 points and a £40 fine.
Come the insurance call around, the conversations went something like this:
xx: Do you have any points or convictions?
me: erm....3 points....
xx: For speeding? Don't worry, they'll disregard that.
me:erm....no, it's a TS10...
xx: Oh....that'll be an extra £300 pounds please. I'll wait while you punch yourself in the stomach.
Take it further because you think you are in the right, but don't worry about future financial penalties.
