driving with no license, and ran a red

[claire12]

I was just driving and ran a red light by accident. Problem is, I dont have a license. But I am 24 yrs old and learnt to drive when I was young, I dont drive as a normal occurance, but it was a bit of an emergency. What is likely to happen to me as its the first time anything like this has happened!!

The statutory MAXIMUM that a magistrates court can give you for EACH offence you committed (driving without a valid licence, driving without insurance) is �2000 fine and 2 years in prison. You'll probably get off with minimum 6 points on your non-existant licence, �500 fine and a 12 month driving ban. (i.e. you can't get a pukka licence for 12 months) Let's hope you bf's insurers don't get stroppy and void his insurance or he'll have trobule getting insured again, thanks to you.

Hey knobbs, I wish I could tell who is new and who isn't. Everyone looks grey on my screen! Having said that, I still have no reason to think that claire isn't geniune.

Regarding claire's predicament - most of us have acted in haste at some time or another in our lives, and been wiser with hindsight.

And before anyone says "Well, we wouldn't have driven ect ....." - my answer to that would be, you just don't know what you would do if one of your children was ill and you felt it was an emergency. Let he who is without sin cast the first stone and all that.

Hey knobbs, I'm not as green as ya think!

I assume you left the car at the hospital car park, as getting home was not an emergency.

pity we still don't have the death sentence, sure as hell sooner or later some poor innocent person would have had their life terminated

oh dear , driving without a license is not a good idea what you have to think about is was there a camera on the lights i have to say as a licence driver i have driven through a red light but there was no camera ,you need to take ur test
