Possible Defences for Driving without Insurance
There are some defences that can be used to challenge a driving without insurance charge. These include:
- Reasonable Belief – If you can prove that you had a reasonable belief that you were insured to drive the vehicle, you may be able to defend yourself against the charge.
- Temporary Cover – If you can prove that you had a temporary cover note or a policy in place, but the policy was not in your possession at the time of the offence, you may be able to argue that you were insured to drive the vehicle.
- Emergency Situations – If you were driving in an emergency situation, such as taking someone to the hospital, and you did not have insurance, you may be able to argue that you had no other option but to drive.
Penalties for Driving without Insurance
The penalties for driving without insurance can vary depending on the circumstances of the offence. The minimum penalty is a fine of up to £5,000 and six to eight penalty points on your licence. In some cases, you may also face disqualification from driving.
