Can my insurance company charge me for not disclosing an old speeding conviction?
In June I took out a van insurance policy with e.van.co.uk . On its website it asked for details of convictions etc. I have an SP30 dated 2-12-06 and according to the DVLA website it expired after four years on the 2-12-10 so I didn't declare it and was given the insurance. In July, e-van wrote me a letter stating that I hadn't declared the SP30 and consequently this generated an additional £35 inclusive of admin fee. Can they charge me for an expired SP30?

Yes, because you did not disclose it according to their terms. Actually £35 is very fair anyway.

I was recently caught and sent a speeding notice for doing 80mph on a dual carriageway. I accept this but, should I let my insurers know and also is it best to pay the fine/take the points or the driver...
When do I have to advise my insurer of my recent fixed penalty conviction of 30mph+ in a 30mph zone (£100 and three points). Immediately, or only at the time of renewal? I wasn't eligible for a driving...
If I get a fixed penalty abroad, i.e. in Spain for 150 Euros for 68kmh in a 60kmh limit, are the points put on my UK licence? I assume I would need to tell my UK insurer.
