After getting the 'fine or a course' letter, I googled around and this seemed to be the consensus (tho' I'm sure it makes a helluva difference what and how long your 'previous' is). I paid the 60 quid & took the points, and my renewal ended up being about 10% higher.Some insurance companies now ask if you have points or have been on a course.
Although I get the impression three points or a course in isolation will not do your premium much harm.

As I've mentioned before, I found my speed awareness course very useful. I went in with an open mind and saw it as a learning opportunity rather than a punishment. And I now know what cycle lanes are for!
I'm not sure of the precise date, but soon insurers will have direct access to the DVLA database so that they will always be aware of driving convictions, even when the driver has opted to go on a course rather than accept points. Which is a Good Thing.I went on a speed awareness course about six years ago and am booked on another next month. ... Since the first course, I now keep a much better eye on the speed limit especially at 30mph when it matters most. I take a pride in keeping a clean licence and don't want to have to declare any points to my insurers.
What are they for?
They* are a quick and cheap way to narrow the carriageway in order to slow the flow of traffic.What are they for?
Should've gone to PePiPoo!You've been done for speeding haven't you?
Well that's what I was told on my courseThat's not actually what they're for. That's a marginal (and short lived) side effect of them.
