but its your fault you never checked the details on the policy and ammended them when you first took out the insurance.and i imagine thats what the insurance company will tell you . the reg distinguishes the car thats insured and if its down wrong ....although the insurers database should have flagged up that the reg either didnt exist or not for that type of car....
common sense and understanding doesnt come onto it as far as the courts are concerned . judge will look at it and probably sympathise but has to sentence you within guidlines set out in black and white for that offence.
