how to find out how many official penalty points you have

lomb

like the title, how do you know how many official points you have. my father needs to get a new insurance policy with a different company so that i can get insurance on his new policy to get cheap insurance and they ask how many points you have?

You should be able to make an application under the Data Protection Act to get that information. Just curious - have you gotten points and you've just forgotten, or are you just making sure that there are no points pending (i.e. you haven't received the notice yet)?

If it's the latter, your insurance isn't void if you tell them none, though you may be obliged to inform them if a fixed penalty notice appears and you pay it.

I have just renewed my policy this month and I did ask about claiming my no points discount, the lady just said call back with your licence number and we'll verify that. Pretty simple really.

for you to find out you have to send a request for certified details to river house, chancery street, dublin 8. Private companies don't, afaik, have access. They may have until recently been able to ring and check but the rules have tightened up very significantly in recent weeks.
