My SP50 in 2012 made no difference at all to my insurance.
aparently not
a ban is only usually applied for more than 30mph over the limit, in fact the guideline for issung a fixed penalty (3pts, £60) is for upto 65 in a 40 and that is almost certainly what you will be offered, go to court and the guideline punishment is 5-6 points, not a ban.
