learner without insurance
i let a friend of mine have a quick try of my car in an aerodrome bit in dartmoor,we though this would be a good idea as it was away from main traffic but a police car turned up whilst my friend was in the drivers seat,she had a previssional license but wasnt insured to drive it and we had no l plates,so we have to go court.Does anyone know how many points etc we will get?

It's worth remembering that public roads in this case include places where the public has unrestricted access (or something like that - not sure of the exact wording). So... if anyone can do the same as you have without special permission, or access via a locked gate or similar, the area is counted as a public road, the same as a supermarket or pub car park is.
