Driving offences you may not know about that could land you with a fine or penalty points

All drivers know they could end up with a fine or penalty points for breaking road safety laws - however there are some rules people may not know about.

Some things are clearly going to get you penalty points as well as a possible court appearance, such as speeding, dangerous driving and using your phone at the wheel. But there are other less obvious habits which could land you in trouble too.

Andy Moody, director at GoShorty, said: "Getting 12 points on your driving licence in less than three years could get you disqualified from driving. On top of that, getting points on your licence will also result in the increase of your insurance policy, as your insurance provider will want to be informed about all your motoring convictions in the past three years (five in some cases)."
