driving offences

[microdot]

what are the penalties fo driving with no mot and no valid insurance also can i go to prison

[New Judge]

No MoT is a fine only (no points or ban).

No insurance is a fine plus a minimum of six points or a ban (not both unless you are a "totter - 12 points within 3 years).

Like almost all motoring offences you cannot be sent to prison (unless you do not pay your fines).

[Ethel]

No MOT - fine up to �1000


No insurance - 6 to 8 points, fine up to �5000 and possibly a disqualification.

If you have passed your test less than 2 years, you will return to learner status.

No prison.

[NORMANTHEDOG]

you will only go back to learner status if you receive 6 pts or more in the first 2 yrs of passing your test.

[NORMANTHEDOG]

but,if me,panic button and toureman had our way,we would tie ropes around your legs and arms and attach them to our cars and drive off in different directions.

[NORMANTHEDOG]

new judge,can you not go to prison for driving whilst banned and drink driving.

[New Judge]

You sure can, Norm.

From memory there are only five "purely driving" offences which can attract a prison sentence:

Causing Death by Dangerous Driving
Dangerous Driving
Driving Whilst Disqualified
Excess Alcohol (and the associated failing to provide a specimen)
Failing to Stop/Report

There may be others but I cannot immediately think of any.

Of ourse there are offences involving dishonesty and driving (e.g. Taking without consent, Aggravated Vehicle taking, etc) but I do not see these as driving offences.
