criminal record for driving without car insurance???

Question

I would like to know whether an individual who plead guilty for driving without a car insurance (UK) get his name put on criminal record list.
It seems to me unlikely because people normally get points of their licenses and a fine.

Answer 1

yes, it comes under a criminal offence not a civil or motoring offence, the mandatory penalty is 6-8 ppoints (used to be 4-8 but it went up a few years ago. your driving licencse will be endorsed with the points and a code of IN10 will be put on it, the insurance companies will then increase your premium (cos thats just how they are) you will also be fined, when you go to court they will give you a yellow A4 form which is a means testing form which will then be secretly given to the magistrates, who will work out the fine based on what disposable income you have or 'money left over to yourself' , but dont worry you've got time to fill it in when you sit around waiting when u get there. for gods sake make sure you list all your expenses, debts, outgoings etc, you can also have more money going out than you have coming in and have a negative amount showing, theres nothing wrong with that. ask the duty solicitor when you get to court to represent you but he cant advise you how to fill in the form 'in your best interests' you will have to decide what to put down. take a calculator, a piece of paper and a pencil. things that count are tv license, rent, mortgage, elec, phone, gas, community charge, clothes, food, telephone, general living expenses like that, be smart your fine will be low, be an idiot and say you live at home with your mum, have no real outgoings but earm plenty and they'll take all you've got. look in the local newspapers in the 'court-round up' bit every local paper has a list of who was in court, then look you'll see lots of people with the same convictions eg IN10 no insurance but different amounts of fines (this is because some people know what to put down on the form and how to present it. start making a list tonite. Even though i've tried to help you, please, please get some insurance its important because even if your a safe respectable driver there are other people on the roads who aren't and if you have a knock it'll all be your fault, by the way a second charge of driving with no insurance will be a manadtory ban, at 12 points its game over you do the maths, its sometimes met with a suspended jail sentence too, dont do it to yourself, we all know insurance is the biggest rip off going but they'll so cane your *** without it. In the mean time dont worry, buy the local newspaper, make your income as low as you can and your outgoings as high as you can and ask for the duty solicitor when you get there. good luck by the way a cheap car insurance site i found was called screentrade.com or co.uk. good luck and dont worry, just get things right from now on :)

in answer to your question it is a criminal offence but under the rehabilitaion of offenders act after 5 years its considered a spent conviction. its nothing to be ashamed of, it won't harm your career etc. by the way im 100% right on everything ive said above. You'll probably get some negative comments about driving with no insurance, but whats happened has happened. what you must do is learn that you mustnt do it again, stay away from the edge of the law and everything will be OK, just so you know - the cops have an instant data base of car reg numbers that are uninsured, when they drive past you their computer will bleep either if their is something wrong ie mot expired, no tax, no insurance or your number plate is unreadable - just so you know. good luck and stay legal next time

I have read the previous answers and they are either half right or totally wrong, it is up to the police to present the case for trial they do not determine criminality or sentencing and there may be mitigating factors. You must in any event be advised by a solicitor.
It is not a criminal offence, it is an endorsable motoring offence. You will not have a criminal record, but it will show up on the police database if they ever stop you. It will also be printed on your driving licence, and if you apply for any motor insurance in the future, you will need to declare it when they ask you about motoring offences. You may find that most insurers will either decline you or charge you significantly higher prices because of the offence, as you will be seen as an increased risk. It will also affect your chances of getting any job involving driving while it remains on your licence.

Answer 4

Yes, driving without or with an invalid insurance policy is a criminal offense.
The driver will be pleading guilty and his name will be put on criminal record list.
Still on top a tremendous fine and up to six points on your license.

Do not drive insecured

Answer 6

Driving without 3rd party insurance is a civil motoring offence. It may also be prosecuted in court by police via a summons if a fixed penalty notice is not deemed appropriate.

I have taken my answer from https://www.askthe.police.uk/content/Q203.htm:

Q203: What are fixed penalty tickets (in relation to driving offences)?
Fixed penalty tickets/notices (FPT/FPN) may be issued for road traffic offences, and offer an opportunity to settle an offence without the need to go through the court system. If you pay a fixed penalty ticket, all liability for the offence is discharged and the offence doesn t form part of your criminal record.

As fixed penalty notices do not fall under the definition of a relevant matter , they would not be automatically released on a DBS check and as such are not subject to the filtering provisions.
A recipient of a fixed penalty notice has two options, either to pay the ticket and surrender their licence where required, or request a court hearing.

There are two types of fixed penalty tickets, endorsable and non-endorsable.

Endorsable tickets mean that you will usually mean that you ll get 3 points on your licence and a £100 penalty (note that whilst this is the penalty for the majority of tickets, there are a few variations where it is more or less, not having insurance is one example).
A non-endorsable ticket means that you will receive a £50 fine (some are higher) but do not get any points on your licence.
Certain parking offences are eligible for a £30 non-endorsable ticket (£40 in Greater London).
The type of FPN you receive depends on the offence you have committed. Some offences cannot be dealt with by way of a FPN or the police officer may think that the circumstances are too serious, in either case you may be reported for summons to go to court.

A few examples of endorsable and non endorsable tickets are:

Endorsable

speeding
going through a red light
using a mobile phone whilst driving
pedestrian crossing offences
no insurance (£300 and 6 penalty points)
Non-endorsable

drive a vehicle with no MOT (£100)
fail to comply with a traffic sign e.g. give way sign/road markings, roundabout sign, vehicle priority sign
failing to wear a seatbelt
parking offences
Local Authority Civilian Enforcement Officers may also issue fixed penalty tickets for a range of offences e.g. parking, selling/repairing vehicles at the roadside or abandoned vehicles. If you have an issues with a ticket make sure you contact the agency who has issued it, as the police have nothing to do with tickets issued by Local Authority Civilian Enforcement Officers and vice versa.

Answer 7

Yes.
This is taken straight from the Department of Transport's website.

"Even if accidental, driving without insurance is a criminal offence."
So, yes, a driver who pleads guilty to (or is found guilty of) driving without car insurance will end up with a criminal record. As well as a fine and up to six points on his licence.
