Declare any points which have disappeared from your licence.After 3 years they might not apply to your licence, but your insurer may want to know details of any points in the last 5 years.

Make sure you tell your insurer about any convictions for driving offences or points on your licence you may have had in the past.

It helps them make a judgement about how safe a driver you are and how much your premiums should cost.

The campaign is in response to statistics that reveal over 5,000 homes were broken into last year by burglars simply walking through unlocked front doors.

Police say that many people forget to lock up properly, leaving their property vulnerable to burglary.
