In Canada, Insurance companies look at your risk points not demerit points. However, there is a general rule that more serious offences carry some or more demerit points than minor offences. Insurance companies generally classify offences in 3 different categories. (Some use more) They are minor, major, and serious. The offence itself will describe the conduct of driving to the insurance company, not the points. Demerit points will be on your record for 2 years from the day of offence and are not recorded until you're convicted. So if it took you a year to go to court, they'd only be on for another year. The conviction remains on your record for 3 years. 2 years after the points have been deleted. Your insurance company only needs the offence to calculate your premiums.

How do insurance companies get notified of points?
The DMV submits it to the insurance company.
How will 3 points on your driving record affect your insurance?
I had received 4 speeding tickets in 2 months, so I know first hand the difference in insurance from receiving 3 points. It doubles. Or, atleast it did for me. That's pretty much the long and short of it. But other things like being dropped from you're carrier can happen. But it does take 4 points in 12 months to get your license suspended. I'm not sure how it works where you are but in Nevada the points on your record are just a system used for DMV to determine when to tell you "time to take the bus" (12 demerit points in 12 months) What insurance companies out here go by are CONVICTIONS which are totally separate from the demerit points so depending on why the points were tacked on it may ironically not affect it at all.. while a paragraph telling a story (conviction summary) of you driving wrecklessly may considerably impact it yes. If you're with State Farm you'd better start looking for another insurance company. Like I said, it depends on the circumstances and Insurance companies go by your actual convictions and not so much numeric points.
