According to British motoring law, failing or refusing to name the person driving your vehicle at the time of an accident is a greater offence than actually driving the car during the accident yourself.

Several cases finish up in court because people do not name the person who was driving their car at the time of the accident and although it seems like an honourable thing to do to protect your friend; it is in fact very foolish. Accidents happen all the time, although some are more serious than others, but even the best drivers cant avoid them completely.

It is quite a common happenstance that drivers flee from the accident spot after causing an accident ” especially if the accident is a serious one.

Due to the potential legal implications if you were to crash while driving an uninsured vehicle, this offence is taken very seriously by the Magistrates Court.

To be found guilty of driving without insurance the Prosecution simply have to prove that you were driving a motor vehicle on a public road at the time of the alleged offence. Because this is a documentary offence the burden passes to the Defendant (you) to prove that you were actually insured at the time you were driving. This is because it would be almost impossible for the Prosecution to prove that you were not insured and they would have to go through every insurance company in the Country using their insurance database to try and establish there was no certificate in place.
