The insurance company perform a check with the DVLA using your driver number
If a driver number isn't provided they perform a check with the DVLA using your date of birth and address. Before you say they don't, they didn't for you, my partner works for Hughes insurance and they most certainly do perform these checks. You are consistently giving bad advice since you joined this forum. Admiral knew about my speeding points and no insurance points and neither of them are in any newspaper. Sterling nearly voided my policy when I forgot to declare 3 points for speeding, the policy was only live for 3 days before they rang me and knew the date of the offence.

@Drew B under article 17 of the GDPR, the right to be forgotten, you can request that Google remove any information they hold on you. This does not mean that the news article ceases to exist and won't come up via alternative search engines. The news article will still exist on the newspapers website, that's freedom of the press which is not trumped by GDPR. Under GDPR you do not have the guarantee that Google will remove any results as they are bound by the best interests of the public, if they believe that it's in the public interest to keep a story up they will.
"When you make an application, Google will balance your privacy rights with what’s in the public’s interest to know and the right to distribute information."
You must then follow the same process with Bing and Yahoo. It'll never be gone from seach engines that don't comply with GDPR such as the search engines on the Tor Network. It also will only be removed from the European itterations of the search engines as only the European iterations of the search engines are bound by GDPR. I managed to get 90% of my results from during addiction scrubbed off Google but my request for one of the articles was rejected.
