What happens if I drive without car insurance?
Driving without car insurance is illegal. If you own a vehicle that is not insured, you can be prosecuted even if you have never driven it. You can potentially be fined up to £5000 if you are caught. You will also be given a number of penalty points on your driver’s licence. You may, in some cases, have your license revoked. As well as driving an uninsured car, it is also illegal to let someone else borrow your car if they are not insured on it.
