What the Writer Says…
DD60 is the most serious endorsement code a driver can carry. It records a conviction for manslaughter or culpable homicide while driving a vehicle - charged under common law, not the Road Traffic Act 1988. This is an important legal distinction: the prosecution considered the conduct so serious that it went beyond dangerous driving into manslaughter.
The penalties reflect this severity. DD60 carries 3 to 11 penalty points, an obligatory disqualification of at least 2 years, a compulsory extended driving retest, and a maximum sentence of life imprisonment. Unlike DD80 (causing death by dangerous driving), which is a statutory RTA offence, DD60 is triable on indictment only, meaning it can only be heard in the Crown Court.
