Can anyone advise me ?? I got pulled over for driving without insurance, yeah i know, dumb thing for me to have done
I sat in the police drivers car and signed the ticket he gave me ( a traffice offence report), he said i will get a letter in the post with a £300 fine and 6 points on my licence, it has just arrived, i have 28 days to pay it in full or be summoned to court
I am however out of work and cant afford to pay the £300 in one go, i literally have £50 to my name....it says there arent options to pay in installments ? Please keep reading....
If i let it go to magistrates court it might make it even worse and i could get fined more apparently.
My question is : Is there anything i can say in court, any loopholes i can use to get off the points being added and more importantly the £300 fine ???
I have to say i also that i had no mot or road tax either, both had just run out, the car was registered also in a fake name id made up and to an ampty house, the reason i did this is id got a parking fine when my car was once declared sorn, so i quickly sent off the log book to an empty address and to a fake name and told the parking co that i had sold the car and it wasnt me etc, i know it was wrong to do but its done now...the policeman didnt do me for anything else, just driving without insurance. My car was nearly 20 years old and worth nothing so im not bothered to have lost it, i am bothered about the fine and points though...
so I guess i really was lucky the policeman didnt do me for the other stuff, no mot etc, my car was however taken off me and crushed, it was old and not in great condition though i always kept on top of the brakes, tyres etc.
But anyway....is there anything or any techincality i can say in a magistrates court ?? or am i just better off trying to pay the fine and take the points ??? any useful help advised. I know what i did isnt advised, but its done now. What if i just said i hadnt receieved the fine in the post, i guess theyd sent it recorded deliver next time. Looks like theres no way off this at all ???
