UK Drivers Warned Over Fireworks Transport Rules Ahead of Bonfire Night

Many car insurance policies exclude transporting fireworks, risking invalidated cover.

Overview

  • Carrying more than 50kg of fireworks without proper registration or a licence is reported as illegal.
  • Offenders risk a £300 fine and six penalty points, according to the guidance cited in the reports.
  • A BigWantsYourCar.com spokesperson urges motorists to check policies with their insurer before transporting fireworks.
  • Fireworks are described as highly combustible and should be kept away from heat sources, sparks and damp conditions.
  • These notices serve as seasonal reminders based on existing regulations rather than new rules or enforcement actions.
