Penalties

If you are found to be driving without a licence, you could face a maximum fine of £1,000, between three and six penalty points and a discretionary driving ban, while driving without a valid MOT certificate can carry a £30 fixed penalty notice or, should the matter go to court, you could face a maximum fine of £1,000.

Should you be found to be driving without insurance, you may find you are presented with a penalty of between six and eight penalty points and a sizeable fine, up to a maximum of £5,000. In the most serious of cases, you could also face a disqualification of up to 12 months, while the police also have the authority to seize and maybe even destroy your vehicle.
