While most people like to consider themselves law-abiding citizens, it is easy to fall foul of the law once we get behind the wheel of a car. Despite ongoing safety campaigns. from police forces and road safety partnerships up and down the country, driving offences are still all too common.
Of course, even the most cautious of drivers can make mistakes, while others routinely flout the rules on a daily basis. Either way, it can land you in trouble with the police and the courts.
Young drivers, aged 25 and under, are the most likely to commit a driving offence, according to a study of the latest DVLA figures by the online car leasing comparison site, Moneyshake. It found that 80,000 motoring offences in the last year were committed by younger motorists.
