Which statute corresponds to causing death by driving unlicensed disqualified or uninsured drivers?

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

Answer: (A)

The key idea being tested is recognizing the specific offence that applies when someone causes a death while driving a vehicle they should not be on the road because they are unlicensed, disqualified, or uninsured. The correct statute is the Road Traffic Act 1988 section S3ZB, which creates the offence of causing death by driving while unlicensed, disqualified or uninsured. This is a distinct offence from the general forms of causing death by driving (for example, dangerous driving or careless driving) and is used specifically when the driver’s lack of license, disqualification, or lack of insurance is an essential element of the offence. The other options point to different driving-caused-death offences (such as dangerous or careless driving) that do not hinge on the driver’s licensing or insurance status, so they do not fit this scenario as precisely as S3ZB does.
