Which statute corresponds to causing serious injury by driving disqualified?

• A. S1 RTA 1988
• B. S2B RTA 1988
• C. S2C RTA 1988
• D. S3ZC RTA 1988

Answer: (D)

The situation is addressed by an offence that specifically links driving while disqualified with causing serious injury. This is set out in the Road Traffic Act 1988 as the offence of causing serious injury by disqualified driving. It targets the precise combination: the driver is disqualified at the time of driving and, as a result of that driving, serious injury is caused to another person. That focus on both the disqualification and the serious injury is why this statute is the correct one for this scenario, and it carries penalties reflecting the heightened severity of breaching a disqualification and causing significant harm. Other provisions cover driving offences where the driver may be dangerous or careless, or driving while disqualified without injury, but they do not match the specific combination of disqualification plus serious injury, so they fit less well.
