Help needed...Badly!

[JJB]

I have been done for speeding, If I take the points I will have to get the bus to work put it that way, A mate of mine said he would take my 3 points but he was not insured to drive my car, Would the police look into his insurance details on a case like this or would they just be happy to issue the fine and the 3 points to him without checking ? I know I'm being dodgy here so no" Lock him up" Type replys please.

I don't think you're going to get any help here JJB!

[JJB]

why not, are they all church going do goodiers who have never messed up? SMASH THE SYTEM I SAY.

[Impret-Sir]

Leaving aside the morality of what you are suggesting, the police will check EVERYTHING! They will very quickly check who is the registered keeper of the vehicle, then when they see its not the bloke who (claims to be) the driver at the time of the offence then they will ask him to provide his insurance details. Dont get me wrong, Im no saint when it comes to speeding, and think Gatsos are the work of the devil, BUT, if you cant do the time then dont do the crime! Being so close to your points limit you are a berk to have been speeding again!

[NORMANTHEDOG]

has he got any insurance to drive his own car,if so it might cover him third party on your car.

If he's not covered he'll get nicked for the works... not just the points.

Have you got points already or was the speed so much over its an immediate ban? what clocked you a gatso or copper...

I think that you need to get hold of a bus timetable.

I'm not sure that the police will definitely check all the details but I think that the probability that they will do so is quite high. If they find out that you've been trying to fiddle the system, they'll certainly charge you with conspiracy to obstruct the cause of justice. Conviction for this offence nearly always results in a custodial sentence. (Just ask Jeffrey Archer!).

Oops! For 'cause' read 'course', above.

Buenchico just to correct you a little. You can not conspire with the offender in this case. Hence no conspiracy.

However simple "perverting the course of justice" 5 Years

and...."perjury" (Evidence under Oath) Life.

Mmmm tough choice JJB for a few months ban. Don't get me wrong I drive well above the speed limit on many occasions. Alas I still easily see a cop or camera. Hell, I even spot helicopters!!!

Take the ticket and bite the bullet.

[markja]

don't bother 'locking him up' ; hang him!!!!

seriously listen to the earlier replies, if the plod catch you trying it on, so to speak. you will get the book thrown at you, and it's a ble*din' heavy one!

possibly go to court, plead stupidity, tell the magistrates you know you were foolish & will change your ways. and try to get a short ban rather than a long one. i managed to get 2 weeks once cos i told them i would have to go on the dole if they banned me for the 2 months they were going to.( 80 on a 40 duel carraigeway, no traffic about except the plod car hiding behind a wall )

[BillyNoMates]

Doesn't the fact that will be banned if you receive another 3 points suggest something about your attitude to driving and road safety ?

Perhaps you could check if there is an option to pay for and attend a speed awareness course instead of points and a fine ? You seem like an ideal candidate.

[JJB]

Cheers Guys.

Lot to think about there! I have been driving less then 2 years, if you get 6 points or more in that time you have to sit you whole test again, the whole lot, its not a ban as such. Also I have just been told that you dont have to be fully comp to drive someone else's car, most insurance companies cover you to do this... I have really messed but and thanks for the good advice, The wife is not happy trust me!

Well at least we now know a real life dumb and dumber.
