Driving without car insurance high on list of motoring convictions

Mon, 08 Mar 2010

The majority of motoring convictions are for speeding offences, however driving without car insurance is high on the list and men are more likely to have a driving conviction than women.

Male motorists are nearly one-and-a-half times more likely to have a driving conviction than female motorists, according to a survey from AA's portfolio of over 1 million insurance customers.

Simon Douglas, director of AA Insurance, said: "The vast majority of convictions, 85 per cent of them, are for speeding offences . The second most likely offence is for jumping traffic lights (9 per cent) while a worrying 2 per cent are drink-drive offences . Men are more than twice as likely to have a drink-drive conviction than women. The next two most common convictions are for driving without insurance (1.5 per cent) and the relatively new offence of driving whilst using a hand-held mobile telephone (1.3 per cent)."

However, in every UK district, men are more likely to be the motoring lawbreakers than their female driving counterparts.
