How Would I Get Caught?
If you are driving around the UK roads without holding the correct license, you are more than likely to get caught. Police nowadays hold the technology to be able to access your registration plate and identify whether you hold the correct license and insurance and will be stopped you if you do not. To be able to drive your vehicle you must hold the correct license. For example, if you want to ride a motorcycle, you must at least hold a CBT certificate, a driving license usually isn’t enough.
What Are the Penalties for Driving Without a License?
Depending on the severity of the offence, the penalties for driving without a license can vary. During more severe offences you can even find yourself disqualified from driving.
For driving without the correct license, you can find yourself with 3-6 points on your license if you hold one, and up to a £1,000 fine. This includes if you are a learner driver, without the correct learner license, displayed L plates and accompanied by an adult who is over 21 with 3 years of driving experience.
