[Help] driving ban and points

That's tragic but what is the relevance to a thread about car insurance?

It is tragic but an insurer would have to be on really solid ground to be able to turn a claim down.

a previous business partner lost his wife to a brain haemorage aged 46 ......Aviva managed to wiggle out of the pay out , 4 kids under 14 ...!! find another insurer , they are *****.

Take the complaint to the financial ombudsman service . They have the power to make insurers pay out if they find in your favour .

How fast were you going out of interest?

87 and 90 thought I’d left the iron on.

Download the Waze app if you haven’t already you won’t get caught out by a speed camera again.

Or , alternatively , do not break the speed limit !!!!

If that's what they clocked you at I'm guessing your speedo was showing a bit more!!!

They have to find in your favour first. I can't believe a company like Aviva would avoid paying if there was a grey area. The bad publicity wouldn't be worth it.

Not to sure maybe if another user notified the app. It does notify police mobile speed checks and road blocks.

I’d not heard of Waze until you mentioned it.

But you’re right, drivers report where police or Safety Partnership vehicles are lurking, then alerts for other users cover that as well under “Police”.

Normally I would expect that you only need to tell insurers of points when you come up for renewal as they would be taken into account when providing the renewal quote. Mid term shouldn't be a requirement but worth checking.

Endorsements count as a change in your circumstances, similar to a change of address etc. some insurers are fine, others not. Probably safest to check like you say though.

Being in lockdown has done wonders for my points!

I just wonder whether there was more or less speeding fines given in these times.

More because there was no fecker's on the roads or less because there were no fecker's on the road.

My wife died of a stoke out of the blue coming up to 2 years ago now. Our bank BNZ wriggled out of paying the life insurance . Absolute *****.

So you are saying that they didn't have insurance for the condition that she died from?

Only use Waze for navigation these days, apart from speed cameras and red light cameras, given the state of the roads being warned about potholes is a useful function, as well being advised of stationary vehicles ahead. It even gives you a countdown to how many yard/metres ahead the speed cameras are. Some of them are very well concealed.

On long journeys I tend to leave Waze on even if I’m not using the sat nav facility as it still warns about speed cameras.
