In the UK, driving without a licence can result in:
- Between three and six penalty points (for when the person does have a licence).
- A maximum fine of £1,000.
- A possible ban, enforceable when the person does pass their test
Plus, people in the UK who drive a vehicle that they are not insured to drive risk a fixed penalty of £300 and six penalty points.
If it goes to court the person driving without insurance could get an unlimited fine and may be disqualified from driving.
The police also have the power to seize, and – in some cases – destroy the vehicle that’s being driven uninsured.
