Which statute concerns causing death by driving disqualified?

• A. S3A RTC 1988
• B. S2C RTA 1988
• C. S1 RTA 1988
• D. S3ZB RTA 1988

Answer: (D)

The key idea is that there’s a dedicated offence for driving while disqualified that results in death. This is set out in the Road Traffic Act 1988, section 3ZB, which makes it an offence to drive after being disqualified and to cause death as a result. This specific provision exists to punish the breach of a disqualification order itself, regardless of how the driving was carried out. Other offences in the Act cover causing death by dangerous or careless driving, which depend on the manner of driving, not on the driver’s disqualification status, so they don’t address the exact scenario of driving while disqualified. So the statute that directly concerns causing death by driving while disqualified is the Road Traffic Act 1988, section 3ZB.
