now thats a open shut case, no real denial and also is as criminal charge, not a driving offence
thats why they do it as nicking a car is generaly a caution !!!!!
when i was younger no matter what i did i got a caution for it being a minor offence or first offence,,,,,,,,,,,, but this way he gets delt with
also please take into consideration at 14 did any of you kno about car insurance ect was mandetory
i find it disturbing you can be convicted of a crime you are not aware of, you aint doing anything wrong then how can you be guilty, ignorance is no defence is bollox imo
Disqualified, no license, same thing really. Either way you dont have a license, but I take your point.
And at 14, regardless of driving laws, I knew that stealing is wrong, and I'd be pretty damn sure that kid did too.
Ignorance isnt a defence, true. But Im sure there are very few people out there that know all the laws that exist, in order to abide by them. Most are common sense though I think.
