I'm going through a claim with Club4x4 for a minor incident the missus had last week in the Pajero. She was backing out of a drive and reversed into a car parked on the street. The damage is around the $1500 mark, minor scratch to the Paj but she busted a tail light and dented the guard on the other vehicle, which is a Nissan Pathfinder.

I find it odd that we are both required to get a copy of our driving record from the police. Unfortunately this can't be done online in WA and requires a visit to the local cop shop and a fee of $25.60 each, which will be reimbursed by Club4x4. I haven't had a lot of insurance claims in my life, but don't recall ever having to get my driving record before. Is this normal, do most insurers ask for this? I would have thought they would have access to driving records as a usual part of their business?
