(PLEASE READ THE TEXT & ANSWER THE QUIZ QUESTIONS AT THE END)
Convictions, cautions and arrests
- You must tell TfLÂ immediately if you are arrested, charged with, convicted or cautioned for any crime.
- This includes any fixed penalty notices or road traffic offences that result in penalty pointson your driving licence.
- You are responsible for telling TfL about any offences you have committed. Do not rely on the police informing TfL.
- If you fail to tell TfL about any convictions, you could have your licence revoked.
Other fixed penalties, parking tickets and PCNs
- You do not need to tell TfL about any other penalty chargenotices (PCNs) or parking tickets that do not result in penalty points on your driving licence.
- If TfL becomes aware that you are getting frequent PCNs and/or parking tickets, TfL may take licensing action against you. This is because TfL expects all licensed drivers to behave responsibly.
Right to live and work in the United Kingdom
- If there are restrictions on a driver’s right to live and work in the UK, TfL will add an appropriate condition on the licence. If you are in this situation, you should make sure you comply with these conditions and make sure you have a continuing right to work.
In particular, if you are in the UK on a student visa you will only be allowed to work for a limited number of hours each week and you will not be allowed to be self-employed.
