Driving Without Insurance

When it comes to simplicity of offences, driving without insurance is up there at the top.

In the UK, if you drive on a road or other public place without having at minimum third party insurance, you have committed an offence.

No ifs or buts and it makes no difference if you were aware your insurance had expired or not. This is because driving without insurance is an ‘absolute offence’. However, despite this, there are defences available for driving without insurance and our Road Traffic Offence Solicitors have over many years of experience building and presenting cases to the Court.

We are a diverse, law firm with multi-lingual solicitors who use the best-in-class technology to provide clients with streamlined, modern, and highly effective motoring law advice and representation. Our years of experience in road traffic and criminal law means we have relationships with some of the UK’s best Barristers and King’s Counsel. Our clients also benefit from our ability to instruct the country’s most respected expert witnesses who can provide the Court with the facts required to support a not guilty plea or mitigate the sentence handed down by a Judge.

Below are some of the most common questions we are asked concerning driving without insurance.
