There are many laws governing UK car drivers. The laws themselves are complex and young drivers are advised to bring themselves up to speed on legislation effecting them.

Some laws like the Road Traffic Act for new drivers, affect young people a lot. As a first time driver you should be aware of the implications these have on you.

Other information available in our car insurance laws section relates to the roadworthiness of your car. Young drivers should be aware of the requirements of the MOT, which is a must for UK car drivers.

It is illegal (unless your vehicle is exempt) to drive a car on UK Roads without a valid Road Tax. Information about how to get this is provided on that link.

Young drivers are more likely to be involved in a road accident than more experienced drivers. The information on our young drivers and accidents page is designed to inform you as to what the legal requirements are if you find yourself in the unfortunate position of being in an accident.

All drivers should aim to avoid acquiring penalty points and bans. The effect on your insurance varies by each offence. As a younger driver this is even more vital. More information on penalty points and bans and also information on short term bans can be found on these pages.
