Have you been charged with driving without insurance?

If you have been caught driving without insurance, we advise that you contact our nationally recognised driving offence solicitors for a free initial consultation.

Many drivers have the honest belief that their car is insured. Then they’re stopped by the police telling them that it is not. Ignorance isn’t an excuse, unfortunately.

What is the penalty for driving without insurance?

Driving without insurance is a serious offence. You may be handed a Fixed Penalty as a result. This will require payment of usually £300 and 6 penalty points. As a result, you’re risking disqualification if you already have points.

If you’re summoned to court, you can expect an unlimited fine and also the risk of impounding your car. In addition you will receive between 6 to 8 penalty points and a possible disqualification.

What is the code for driving without insurance?

The code is IN10. This will show on your driving licence if you’ve been caught driving without insurance, whether it was deliberate or accidental.

Other people using your car, van, lorry or bike

Also, it’s possible for you to be convicted of this offence if you allow another person to operate your vehicle when it isn’t insured, or there is not sufficient insurance in place to cover them.
