You want to watch out when doing that that it doesn't come and bite
you on the arse when its time to make a claim... The insurance
company will start talking about your "duty of disclosure"... I found
out when I "forgot to tell them" about a speeding fine when I renewed
my policy once... They (QBE) ended up paying out OK, but there were a
few tense moments (fortunately the accident wasn't my fault and
clearly didn't involve speed)...
