Research has revealed drivers could be at risk of fines up to £2,500 as a result of driving while sick.
A study by Scrap Car Comparison has shown UK motorists are leaving themselves at risk of fines due to driving while suffering with symptoms such as sneezing, coughs and headaches. While seemingly harmless, almost 8m motorists could be running the risk of a penalty, if they are found to have caused an accident as a result of sneezing.
Categorised under a ‘driving without due care and attention’ charge, fines can total £2,500 and result in three to nine penalty points, which if you are a new driver (within the first two years of holding a license) would result in you having to retake your driving test.
