Vehicle Defect Offences

Powerful mitigation will always be presented by us

"You can easily accumulate 12 penalty points or more, with a simple defect, such as a bald tyre indeed, each defective tyre attracts 3 penalty points and a fine. This seems manifestly unfair and we will always fight to save your licence."
Carl Millar | Head of Road Traffic Department

A uniformed police officer can stop a person driving a vehicle and also has the power to stop and search a vehicle if the vehicle appears to be in breach of the regulations relating to the construction of that vehicle.

If the vehicle is deemed unsafe to the driver, passengers, other road users or the general public due to a vehicle defect then a driving offence has been committed.

Punishment of Vehicle Defect Offences

Defective tyres and brakes and steering could result in a possible driving disqualification or three penalty points on your driving licence and a fine of up to £2500.
