UK drivers are failing to realise that motoring offences could increase their premiums, according to an industry expert.
Woman car insurance customers are amongst those motorists who have been landed with a speeding fine, yet many of them continue to think that a £60 fine is their only penalty.
A spokesperson for the AA said: "When you get flashed by a camera, potentially you're not only collecting a £60 fine, you're potentially also collecting a £60 increase in your insurance premiums for the next three years.
"You could end up paying four times the fine. Speeding offences can be very expensive and I think most people tend to overlook that. It's not just the £60 fine."
A spokesperson for CoverGirl Car Insurance Services, the experts in woman car insurance, added: "A lot of people do not realise that a motoring offence can affect their UK motor insurance so dramatically.
"Even if you just accidentally go over the speed limit, you could face a penalty that will stay with you for several years."

*A replacement car can normally be arranged under one of the following conditions: (1) Comprehensive policyholders – a replacement car may be available under the terms of your insurance policy. Please check your policy details for more information. (2) Non fault accident – where we have the name, car registration number and insurance details of the person who caused the accident, we can supply a replacement car. This is done on a credit hire basis which means the costs for this service will be passed onto the insurance company of the person who caused the accident. We may not be able to arrange a replacement car where we are unable to get an admission of liability from their insurance company, or where the driver is untraceable or uninsured. (3) Repair garage – if your car is booked in for repairs following an accident, the repair garage may be able to provide a replacement car (subject to availability).
