Causing Death by Driving While Unlicensed or Uninsured and the Law.
Under section 3ZB of the Road Traffic Act 1988, a person commits an offence if they cause the death of another person by driving a motor vehicle on a road when unlicensed, disqualified, or uninsured.
- Driving without a valid licence or insurance and being involved in a collision that results in death.
- Operating a vehicle in breach of disqualification or revoked status.
- Being the cause of a fatal accident due to unlawful driving status, regardless of driving fault.
- Was driving a mechanically propelled vehicle on a public road.
- Was not appropriately licensed or insured at the time.
- That the unlawful driving was a cause, not necessarily the sole cause, of the death.
Investigations are usually handled by police collision investigators and the Crown Prosecution Service. Evidence may include driver records, insurance history, vehicle ownership documents, CCTV, dashcam footage, telematics, phone data, witness statements and collision reports.
Penalties can include imprisonment, disqualification and an extended driving test. Our Causing Death by Driving While Unlicensed or Uninsured Solicitors examine the evidence carefully, including causation, insurance status and the driver’s legal position.
