What the Writer Says…
BA60 is the endorsement code for causing serious injury by driving while disqualified. The offence is defined under Section 3ZD of the Road Traffic Act 1988, which was inserted by the Criminal Justice and Courts Act 2015. It was introduced alongside Section 3ZC (BA40, causing death while disqualified) to create specific offences for the most serious consequences of driving while banned.
The penalties reflect the gravity of this offence. A BA60 carries 3 to 11 penalty points, an unlimited fine, and up to 4 years in prison. The driving ban is obligatory, with a minimum of 2 years, and the court must order a compulsory extended driving retest before the driver can return to the road. "Serious injury" in this context means physical harm that amounts to grievous bodily harm under the Offences Against the Person Act 1861.
