Section 87 of the Road Traffic Act 1988.
Driving without a Licence is also referred to in law as ‘Driving Otherwise in Accordance with a Licence’. The 1988 Road Traffic Act stipulates that it is:
● an offence for a person to drive on a road a motor vehicle of any class otherwise than in accordance with a licence authorising him to drive a motor vehicle of that class; and● an offence for a person to cause or permit another person to drive on a road a motor vehicle of any class otherwise than in accordance with a licence authorising that person to drive a motor vehicle of that class.
What about provision licence holders?
This offence also covers where a provisional licence holder has failed to comply with the conditions of his provisional licence - e.g. driven unaccompanied or without displaying 'L' plates.
