Which statute addresses driving causing death when the driver is disqualified?

• A. S1 RTA 1988
• B. S3ZB RTA 1988
• C. S2C RTA 1988
• D. S35 Offences Against the Persons Act 1861

Answer: (B)

The scenario is specifically about causing a death while driving after being disqualified, so the statute tailored to this situation is the one that creates an offence for causing death by driving when disqualified. Section 3ZB of the Road Traffic Act 1988 does exactly that by defining the offence of causing death by driving while disqualified.

This matters because general offenses for causing death by dangerous driving or careless driving apply regardless of the driver’s disqualification status, whereas driving after disqualification is an aggravating context that warrants its own charge. The other options don’t target the precise situation: causing death in general through dangerous or careless driving, or offences under unrelated Acts, don’t capture the disqualification element.
