This means that if you drive without insurance there is no excuse, you are gulity. In the law there is no defence. For example saying ‘I didn’t know I had no insurance, the insurance company cancelled without telling me’ is not acceptable. However even with an absolute offence  there can be ways to defend or mitigate the offence. But it is always for the defendant to to prove their defence.

You need a specialist motoring offence solicitor
