Greenlight.....
Well, its now practically 3 years since my 1 Year Ban commenced for my Motor Racing conviction and I have had the pleasure of enjoying a 100% Insurance Loading for it since. 
Last year, Greenlight managed to beat EVERYONE else, with the likes of Dominion and Adrian Flux quoting between £1300 and £1600
. They insured me for £790 Fully Comp with all the mods declared. 
Anyway, just had this years renewal, where I kinda expected a similar or slightly higher figure. However......
They have just offered to renew at £550!! At last I am in the land of realistic insurance!! Could have a little to do with turning 30 too!!

Just wondering ..... to the people with points... do you have to tell the insurance company as and when you get them - or only at renewal time?? Would it/they make any difference mid policy ?? Never been in that situation so just sat here wondering what goes on

I was with Greenlight on my previous car, but they couldn't insure me on the Focus. 
Just got my renewal though from Tesco's though, £680 which is £150 cheaper than last year.

Its an offence in its own right, but most cases where Motor Racing on the Highway is suggested, the charge ends up as Dangerous Driving as it doesn't require the same level of evidence. The offence code is MS50 and it is considered as serious as Drink Driving. Also, by definition, it carries a Speeding Conviction too. In my case it was SP60, but with no separate penalty.
I was racing James Raby (off here). Luckily his car is very slow and I only got to the top of third and was so far ahead of him that I didnt bother so just popped it in 4th and came of the gas. If I had taken it all the way, things I might have ended up eating porridge. Was alledgedly doing 108mph. The offence was in November 2001 and it took until July 2002 to actually convict us, thats how complicated it is. We also made 1/2 page in the local press.

I'm with Greenlight too, and they've really impressed me! Although I did use to be with Adrian Flux so they didn't have much to beat, as Adrian flux are CRAP!
