I know but I had 2 claims against me & 6 points at the time of renewal.
Should be half that next time around (providing I behave myself  ::) )

I`m going to be switching at next renewal time (April) so I`ve begun shopping-around; I`ve used the price comparison sites with 'interesting' results.....
I`ve tried the same sites on different days (and entering exactly the same details) and got quotes from the same companies that changed by over £100..... :o

I am entitled to use a professional-title (which I don`t normally use for the purposes of insurance etc.) which if I simply substitute for my usual 'Ms.'; the price-search loads my insurance quotes by >25%....even though I declare exactly the same profession in my details.  :(

Getting the 'best deal' seems to be pot-luck at times....Ho-Hum?  :-/

I used http://www.policyshop-insurance.co.uk/car-insurance.aspx and they were very good.

I pay £340 fully comp with a protected NCB. It would be cheaper but I use the car for business use as well which pushes the milage and price up. Oh and the excess is only £100 too.  :)

I need to find me some insurance in June...

26yrs old
retook my test in 2004 (due to issues getting my licence exchanged from when I first passed in 2000), so wasn't a ban...
6 points (SP50, SP30)
Will have either 3 or 4 years NCB by then (can't remember how much exactly...)
