AC10 Car Insurance
Find out more about AC10 Car Insurance and AC10 Conviction Codes.
An AC10 conviction code is an endorsement you will receive if you are caught after failing to stop after an accident. While the AC10 endorsement does not involve a measure of dangerous or careless driving, insurers will look unfavourably upon drivers carrying it. This is because the presence of an endorsement on a licence automatically represents an increased risk. Some car insurance companies may even refuse to issue quotes for drivers with a AC10 endorsement.
How You Got An AC10 Conviction Code
The causes of a AC10 endorsement are pretty straightforward. Any driver involved in an accident must stop and remain there for a sufficient time to enable any person who has a reasonable ground for doing so to request all required details from the driver. Any driver who does not stop after an accident will be found guilty of failing to stop after an accident and receive a AC10 endorsement.
Penalties For Failing To Stop After An Accident
If convicted of failing to stop after an accident, your AC10 endorsement will remain on your licence for 4 years from the date of the offence. You will also receive 5-10 points on your licence depending on the circumstances surrounding the offence. If you acquire more than 12 points on your licence within 3 years, you will also receive a driving ban.
