    Study Notes

    Driving Documents - Insurance

    • Motor vehicles on public roads must have an insurance policy to cover potential injury or damage.
    • Section 143 of the Road Traffic Act 1988 prohibits using or allowing the use of a motor vehicle without valid insurance covering third-party risks.
    • If a vehicle is uninsured and not on the road, the keeper must remove it from public places and notify the DVLA through a Statutory Off Road Notice (SORN).
    • Section 144A of the Road Traffic Act 1988 holds the registered keeper liable if the vehicle is uninsured, regardless of its use.

    Offences and Defences

    • An offence under Section 143 applies if no SORN exists and the vehicle is uninsured.
    • A statutory defence exists under Section 143, protecting those who can prove:
      • The vehicle does not belong to the driver.
      • The vehicle is not hired by the driver.
      • The driver is operating the vehicle within their employment duties.
    • Police can seize a vehicle if the driver fails to present a driving license or insurance certificate, with reasonable grounds for belief of an offence under Sections 87(1) or 143.

    Exemptions and Examples

    • Certain vehicles are exempt from Section 143, but examples such as:
      • Driving a company vehicle believing it is insured.
      • Going to a scrap merchant with an uninsurable vehicle.
      • Leaving a disused vehicle unattended.
      • Driving to an insurance broker to renew insurance may not have statutory defences.

    • Police officers can demand the production of an insurance certificate or cover note under the following conditions:
      • When the person is driving on a road.
      • When the person is suspected of committing a motoring offence.
      • Following involvement in a road collision.
      • If the officer witnesses an offence directly.
