Driving without insurance may seem like minor offences compared with other motoring offences, however, the effects can be far-reaching.
You could receive hefty fines, your insurance premiums are likely to increase, and you could even be disqualified from driving in certain circumstances. Therefore, it’s essential that you seek the services of an expert motoring offences solicitor to guide you through the criminal justice process.
At Gepp, we provide bespoke criminal law services, designed to preserve your rights and ensure you receive the highest standards of legal advice and defence possible.
Under motoring law, anyone using a vehicle on the road, or another public place must have valid insurance against third party risks. This includes vehicles which are merely parked on public roads and not being driven.
Furthermore, if you are the driver, you must be named on the insurance. It is not enough that the car you are driving is insured. If the insurance is in someone else’s name, you will be committing an offence.
Driving without insurance is risky because the presence of Automatic Number Plate Recognition cameras means you’re very likely to get caught by the police.
If you are caught driving without insurance, penalties include receiving a fine and points on your licence, and you could be taken to court, convicted of an offence, and banned from driving.
At Gepp Solicitors, we have an in-depth understanding of the law and practice surrounding all motoring offences, including driving without a licence or insurance and know the courts well.
We can advise in relation to all aspects of the offences, including:
We will always tailor our advice to your individual situation, and we will never advise you to plead guilty to an offence just because it’s ‘easier’. Our goal is to try and achieve the best possible outcome for you in the circumstances.
