no insurance

[kwaki1000]

hi , i am going to attend court soon,for driving a vehicle uninsured,driving in accordance with license,i wanted to ask that what is likely to happen? i have just recently passed a bike test,and will i get disqualified? and if i plead not guilty will the prosecution be even harsher? thanks your answers will be appreciated

sent to prison for a long time i hope.people like you should have your hands chopped off,so you cant drive and put mine and other peoples families at risk.

Why do you want to plead not guilty?

You will be hung, drawnand quartered

I believe 6 points on your licence and a fine of around �200 is the wholly inadequate going rate. So (sadly) you're unlikely to get a ban unless you already have 6 points or more. If you plead not guilty and have to be convicted your fine may be increased (though probably not the points on your licence), and so it should if you've lied to the court. Apart from anything else, the time and effort needed for your guilt to be proven will be passed on to you in court costs.

The annoying thing for the law-abiding among us is that once you've got this on your record, it will be more difficult and expensive for you to get insurance in future, making it even less likely that you'll bother. :-(

You'll get a fine, but don't worry about it. Have a few drinks then play drag cars with your mates outside the co-op.

How many times have you asked this now?

3? 4?

I cannot see how you can plead not guilty - that's saying that you weren't driving or that you were insured.

You can plead guilty and claim mitigating circumstances - In other words yes you were driving uninsured but it's because.....

The because will have to be very good to make a difference - "I didn't realise" or "I thought my bike licesnse covered cars" really isn't going to hack it.

You're more likely to impress them by looking them straight in the eye and taking responsibility saying that you knew what you were doing and were deliberately not thinking about it and you now understand how irresponsible it was.

I'm sure every man jack pulled up has a sob story about how he was told the policy was OK or he forgot to renew or whatever. Not trying to make excuses for your behaviour is your best chance of setting yourself apart from them.

keep asking the question. Im sure at some point someone will give you the answer that you want, rather than truth that you dont seem to want to hear.

hopefully your going down like my neighbour!!!

Bet you glad you asked now?
