caught speeding :(
tell them. if you have an accident then they could void your policy. For 3 points it shouldnt go up.
dont ask them if it will go up. Just inform them you have points. I have 3 points and my insurance is still the same -£150 a year FC on a almost new GP
Phone them. Oh and 47 in a 30... If you weren't concentrating enough to notice the 30 sign... or the camera... then you weren't concentrating enough!

Also i wouldnt be too worried about the insurance. I would be more bothered about if getting caught again and being 17 you will lose you license 
I would be really careful from now on

Without being funny mate, you only have a 6 point limit until you have had your liscence 2 years.
The roads are as dangerous as hell cos of all the snow on the ground and you were doing 47 in a 30, I hate ranting when I don't know all the details but it seems your one of those people who put MY insurance up. UNBELIEVABLE in these weather conditions.
As for the insurance company I would ring them asap, tell them about your points and also let them know about your mods if you havn't already.
Slow down though eh? 17mph over the limit in snow....just not worth it:bang:

to be fair, its easy to look down at your speedo to find yourself a good 10mph over the limit, especially if its quiet. have you told them yet?
If you manage to do that, I am soooo glad that I dont share the roads with you. If you cannot notice that you are accelerating, please hand in your licence, you are a danger to others

In my experience it definitely pays to stay focussed and concentrating when driving....

of course.
£150 a year, mine's £168 a month on a 1.2 16v punto
yes - this is the only thing I like about getting older!!! Wonder if my renewal will be the same :chin:
:idea: Never knew insurance would go up with points on your licence. Another reason to drive safely, to go along with the hundreds of others I've recently learnt.
Well actually, no, I have never accidently
:devil: strayed over the limit. I have a skill known as throttle control, I can hold it steady for long periods of time, and maintain concentration. Its kind of a neccessity when you live where I do

one of my mates got caught doin the same, 47 in a 30, and he got 6 points and a 250 quid fine. He had passed a week before, so banned!
Don't think he was, had his licence revoked
There's a suttle difference meaning that he can be back on the road as soon as he passes again. Ban mean's he's off the road for a set period of time
