TT99 Insurance Quotes

Guide To The TT99 Conviction Code

Car insurance is expensive enough without adding to the cost. Whilst you may not drive above the alcohol limit, drugs in your system or driving without proper insurance, you still can get penalised for accumulated penalty points for less minor offences. If you tot up 12 or more penalty points, you will be rewarded with a TT99 conviction and driving ban, something you should avoid at all costs.

To receive the totting up ban, the 12 points need to be awarded with in any 3-year period. The driving ban could last for 6 months ( if this is the first driving ban to be imposed).  The ban is automatic, and the code applied is TT99, which indicates disqualification through totting up of penalty points.

Does A TT99 Affect The Cost of Car Insurance?

This is enough to warrant brokers to either not offer you insurance or if a specialist broker provider insurance, but at a cost that will cover their increased risk in providing you with cover.
