What we do
UK Driving Tools is a free resource for UK motorists. We build clear, accurate calculators and write genuinely useful guides on topics like penalty points, fuel costs, speeding fines, road tax, and the true cost of running a car.
Our tools are designed to feel like GOV.UK quality — authoritative and clear — but faster and friendlier to use. Every calculator gives you the information you need without unnecessary sign-ups, paywalls, or complexity.
Our promise
- Always free — every tool and guide on this site is free to use, with no subscription required
- Always up to date — we update our calculators when DVLA rates, fuel prices, or sentencing guidelines change
- Always honest — we include disclaimers on every tool because estimates are not official figures. We always link to GOV.UK for verification
- No sign-up — you don't need an account, email address, or any personal information to use any tool
How we're funded
UK Driving Tools is funded by Google AdSense advertising. We display relevant advertisements on our pages to cover hosting and development costs. We do not take payment from any third party to recommend products or services, and our editorial content is entirely independent.
Accuracy and disclaimers
Our calculators provide estimates based on publicly available rules, rates, and guidelines. They are intended as a helpful starting point, not a substitute for professional or official advice. Always verify important figures — particularly penalty point records, VED rates, and fine amounts — with the relevant official sources:
- Check your driving licence record — GOV.UK
- Vehicle tax rate tables — GOV.UK
- Sentencing Council guidelines
