What is a common non-endorsable offence?

A common non-endorsable offence refers to violations that typically do not result in points being added to the driver’s record. Driving without a seatbelt falls under this category because it is considered a safety regulation rather than a driving conduct that poses an immediate risk to others. In a fixed penalty notice scenario, many authorities impose fines for this offence, but it does not lead to endorsement points.

In contrast, offences like driving under the influence, exceeding the speed limit, and driving without insurance are considered serious violations of driving laws that can significantly endanger road safety. These offences typically result in points being endorsed on a driver's licence since they directly relate to impaired driving ability, reckless driving behavior, or the legal status of the vehicle being operated. Therefore, driving without a seatbelt is identified as a non-endorsable offence while the others carry more serious implications for road safety and responsible driving practices.
