(Male, Fully Comp with Aviva)  . The quote for the same person and the same car was €107 higher if the driver had 4 penalty points. (€536 with 4 points and  €429 without them)
The  quote from RSA Insurance was €57 more if the driver had 4 penalty points. (€419 versus €362)

The rest of the  insurance companies in the survey did not quote a higher price if the customer had 4 penalty points.
