Construction & Use Offences
The Offences
This is a group of offences which are concerned either with the condition a vehicle is kept in or something that has been done to a vehicle which makes it unsafe.
Typical examples of Construction and Use offences are driving a vehicle with:
- bald tyres;
- defective brakes;
- defective steering;
- carrying an unsafe load; and
- carrying too many passengers for a particular vehicle.
Potential Penalties
Fine up to £2,500 and 3 points for each allegation (i.e. four defective tyres would be treated separately for punishment and could give rise to a totting disqualification).
If you have driving convictions, points on your license and/or previous accidents and claims, you will need a specialist insurance provider.
Here at The Policy Shop we can help whether you have SP30 (speeding), CD10 (careless driving), IN10 (driving without insurance) or DR10 (drink driving) motoring convictions.
As long as you are aged 19 and over with a Full UK driving license, convicted driver car insurance has never been so easy.
Because of the specialist consideration that we give to your individual circumstances, the price quoted on the website may not be our best, so one of our team will call you back to confirm the details.
