DD80 Car Insurance
A DD80 endorsement on your driving license forms part of the penalty for causing death by dangerous driving. Drivers with a DD80 endorsement will find it a serious challenge to get car insurance or a low quote. In some circumstances, insurance companies may even refuse to issue quotes for drivers with a DD80 endorsement owing to the perceived risk the driver presents.
When A DD80 Conviction Code Applies
The DD80 endorsement is issued on your license as a result of being convicted of death by dangerous driving. You can be convicted of death by dangerous driving as a result of speeding, falling asleep at the wheel or by being distracted. Regardless of the cause, some of which are common bad habits among drivers, if the result is death you will receive the DD80 endorsement on your license.
Penalties For Death While Driving Convictions
If convicted of causing death by dangerous driving, a DD80 endorsement will be applied to license and lasts 4 years from the date of conviction. In addition, you could receive 3-11 points on your license, determined by the severity of the offence. This is common in all reckless driving offences. These points may result in you receiving a driving ban.
