Foreign motoring convictions now affect UK licence
As the holiday season gets underway, legal expenses insurance market leader DAS is urging motorists to check whether their motor legal protection policies include foreign prosecution defence in addition to similar protection in the UK.
“If convicted abroad”, says solicitor Rhian Gait-Parker, Advice Services Manager for DAS, “new laws allow greater exchange of motorists’ details across Europe that could affect driving licences in the UK. Additionally, exercising the right to testify in a native language or coping with unfamiliar procedures and surroundings may prove difficult and costly without legal expenses insurance”.
Half of all European holidays from the UK are by car. All motor legal protection policies from DAS extend across Europe, cover every passenger, and are supported by 24-hour helplines. Prosecution defence is an optional addition to standard cover such as DASDrive Plus.
