A CU30 conviction is given for using a vehicle with defective tyres. CU30 conviction car insurance can be expensive, with the endorsement lasting for several years. Car insurance companies look suspiciously on licenses carrying this kind of conviction. Some companies may even refuse to issue quotes for drivers with a CU30 endorsement.
How You Got A CU30 Conviction Code
You will receive a CU30 endorsement if you are caught driving a vehicle with defective tyres. You needn’t have been driving dangerously or causing an accident. If you are caught driving with defective tyres you are breaking the law.
Penalties For Driving A Car With Defective Tyres
Your CU30 endorsement will earn you 3 points on your license. This will remain on your licence for 4 years from the date of the offence. If you get more than 12 points on your licence within 3 years, you will also receive a driving ban. For any offence that offers penalty points, the court has a discretionary power to order the licence holder to be disqualified, fined and imprisoned.
