Just wondering how does penalty point affect your insurance. What is people's experiences of this.

Prepare to bend over if you get 4+ points.

...or if you have some and then name your partner (who also has some) on the policy then don't be surprised if they up the price.

12 points gives you a 100% discount on your insurance for six months.

Thought that it might have changed when the points went up.
I know people with two offences (4points) and it didn't affect the insurance. So just wondering if you had 2 from the old system and then got 3 from the new system, still two offences but now it's 5 points.

I heard 2-3 points isn't so bad as you know you have to drive more carefully as you now have points. But 4+ is a bad place to be

On a slightly related note,

Is it still double points on bank holiday weekends or is it all a myth?
