hi.i got caught driving with no licence in mid january this yr.how ever i was insured and the car was taxed and moted.i passed my driving test yesterday only got five minor points on my test.any way ive just recieved a summons for court for the 10th of april.for driving with no licence thats it.im just wondering where i stand because if i get 6 points i will have to take a retest.spoke to a guy at the desk in the police station at a motorway division and he rekons 3points and a fine or just a fine.im lost ive worked hard to get a licence.i have a bad driving record for driving with no licence for 8 yrs.but now im 100%legal.the bloke in the police station said they should show leniency because ive went out and took my test passed and im on the straight and narrow.i no its my fault and i except that.

 

how was you insured with no licence

 

ive no idea mate but just so you know, the insurance would have been void because you didnt have a licence...so itll be driving without licence or insurance

 

ban or licence revok.

 

own fault really,regardless of wether you went out and passed your test after or not......it was a really fookin stupid thing to do


as stated insurance is void if you had no licence also,and no matter how good a friver you think you are accidents do happen and i doubt you will get off with 6 points

 

basically go in there and have your story sorted ie you know you were in the wrong and WILL take the punishment BUT explain that you ARE as you say on the straight and narrow you never know it may just go your way with a larger fine/points etc! I didn't think 6 points was a straight automatic retake but over 6 WAS!


ALL the above is based that THERE wasn't an accident!

What you do for a living?

 

Basicaly,YOUR'E FUCKED

 

 

You were driving without a license for 8 years?!

Just tell the truth, say that you've realised your mistake, even if it took you a while.. and hope they are leniant... nothing else you can do really.

 

just noticed that bit....do you have previous for driving with no licence? if so a hefty ban and jail is a possibility

 

sexual favours for the judge, maybe

 

to be fair mate, i think itll be cheaper for you to get a taxi everywhere by the time youve paid for the running of the car, plus been absolutly raped for insurance....

 

Wear a crash lid for when they throw the book at you ...and you deserve it for driving without a licence!

 

Its unlikely you will be forced into retaking a test when you've only just passed one!!

Don't know what else it will be though.

 

you deserve it for driving without a licence![/quote]


you'll be surprised HOW many people drive around without one!

and then there's the people with a licence but drive without insurance due to the fact the fine IS less than what they would have paid for the year so take a gamble they wont get caught!

 

You will be banned, and im sorry to say its your own fault! if you hit someone you would have had no insurance or fook all as would have been void. So your own fault!!

 

Then there is the people who have a license but shouldn't because they are total incompetents who should be allowed within 50yards of a vehicle

 

bottom line they will say is a fine of 300 pounds and 3 points .just coz you didnt have a driving licence dosnt mean you was a bad driver

 

No, but it does mean your insurance is void!!! He could have killed someone!!

indy - purely out of interest - what were you doing to get pulled and given a producer in order for them to discover you have no license?

Neil.

 

No it means he's irresponsible and shouldn't be allowed near a car, by your logic a 12 year old holding a gun isn't dangerous because he hasn't shot anyone yet

 

Ad4m RST
i hear what your saying but its 2 differnt things

 

Why didn't you just pass the test all those years ago?

 

youl will get 6 points for no insurance for deffinate, then they will revoke your licence and youll have to resit your test again for getting 6 points or over in the first 2 yrs of driving

thats without the driving with no licence charge

so id say goodbye to the licence, and get on the phone to book your retest

 

Was reading the local court appearence things in my local paper earlier.

Average for 1 offence (licence, insurance or MOT etc) was 3 points plus Ł120 fine.

Average for 2 offences (licence or insurance, insurance or MOT etc) was 6 points and Ł350 fine

Average for 3 offences was a Skoda for a month

 

I'd take custody instead

 

8 years.....They're gonna take your nice, shiney new licence and stick it up your ar*e! No way you'll get off IMO but please let us all know.

 

Good luck, Hope you get off lightly

 

My Brother got done for no insurce on a motor bike (was a mistake he was on a m8s bike and thought he was covered and it turns out he was'nt he did'nt read the SMALL PRINT )
He then toke his Car test pasted ect then went to court over the non insurnce and Because he had got his Licence AFTER the Affence they could'nt take it off him but gave him a big Fine and 6 points


I know someone with out one and when he did go to take it the instucker looked @ it and sore he had been done for not having one a couple of times and Fauld him on stupid things so he never bothered again

Theres lots that do it its the same with Tax Mots Insurnce ect and then theres the twats that have a licence and should not have ever pasted

 

no license equals no insurance. You are very lucky you didnt hit someones car or worse still a child. But saying that a lot of us have made mistakes (i know i have) but learning by them is the key. Hope they show you leniency for your efforts and also hope you have learnt your lesson...... good luck

 

I'm sure i read somewhere that even if someone didn't have a licence but paid the insurance then the insurance has to cover you for third party claims anyway?

Not saying you deserve a break as people like you do increase my insurance premiums when it does go tits up


Martin

 

So you have had no licence for 8 years?

You deserve everything you get and some

Twat

 

If anything you have told the insurance company differs to whats actually correct then they have the right to void your insurance. Which is why if you have a modified car and don't tell your insurance company you run the risk of finding yourself owing alot of money to alot of people if you're involved in an accident and the insurance vehicle assesor finds something you havent declared etc and decides you weren't covered. Believe me insurance companys will look for ANYTHING to get out of paying out for you.

 

Why on earth you paid for insurance when it was void baffles me...?
What did they say when they asked how long you've held a license, 8 years?!

glad to see sometimes the system gets it right. I can't see how anyone could be so selfish as to drive without a license/insurance....endangering the lives of other people.

 

Lube up boy, lube up

WTF?

 

calm down dear

 

neighbour across the road for me stole a bus years ago , obviously he was caught. he had a slight mental condition and was given a fine and a 5 year ban.
Last year he got caught driving with no liscence while still on a ban. He paid for insurance , but obvioulsy it was null and void.
He was told that due to his mental state and the fact his wife had given birth , he was told he would be spared a jail term , but was fined and banned for a further 7 years.

 

It isn't the lack of license or insurance that endangers lives!
I can assure I have seen a great many people on the roads who are a significant risk to others yet they have a license

 

I think you need to invest in some steel undies for the prison time you will hopefully be facing and get used to being called susan and being told " Squeal like a pig for me boy!"
