What the Writer Says…
BA40 is the endorsement code for causing death by driving while disqualified. The offence is defined under Section 3ZC of the Road Traffic Act 1988, which was inserted to address the most serious consequences of driving while banned. It is an either-way offence, meaning it can be heard in either a magistrates' court or the Crown Court depending on severity.
The penalties reflect the gravity of this offence. A BA40 carries 3 to 11 penalty points, an unlimited fine, and up to 10 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.
