Essentially, any conviction that happens as a result of being caught breaking any driving law is classed as a motoring conviction. There are many different levels of severity, with punishments reflecting the nature of the offence committed. Speeding, driving under the influence, or ignoring road rules can all result in points on your licence, a driving ban, or even jail time.
It’s not just the way you drive that can result in a conviction but the safety of the vehicle as well. If your vehicle has defective parts or is unroadworthy, or if you drive without insurance, you will also likely face a conviction if caught. For any of these offences that result in a conviction, you will normally be given a Fixed Penalty Notice or be summoned to the Magistrates Court.
