GUYS THIS IS ERGENT!!

[dave1324]

right, well today i was riding my friends motorbike in a carpark, he was just letting me have a go to get used to gears nice and slowly as i'm getting a bike in the next week and taking my cbt,
the police turned up! and then i rode off and gave it back to my mate but they told me that the worst that can happen is disqualification,
i dont have a provisional yet, or insurance!!!
am i completely fucked? or is there hope,
the officer was very understanding about the situation and i have NO criminial record in any area.?
if someone has been in the same situation or they have friends that have been in it please tell me asap,
smashed_sanity@hotmail.co.uk is my msn, if you have any info feel free to add me an tell me.

If the police are dealing with it it really isn't urgent, the Police need to get off their arses and actually do something.

However, I imagine if it was an empty carpark they'd be more lenient but if it was quite packed etc etc then maybe they might be a bit tougher on you.

Should have picked some private land instead.

What kind of car park?
Private or public highway car park?

You can get banned and points before you even get your lisence. My brother took a friends car and rolled it before he even had a lisence.

He had to take an extended driving test and his insurance at the moment is £3,300 a year on a 1.1 car. He's 21 btw.

Depends what they decide to do but can't see them doing much to be honest?

[wizzzard]

I'm certainly no expert on the subject but if his bike was taxed then I'm guessing it will be three points for no licence and six for no insurance. If so still three to play with when you get your provisional

I Would hate to have your insurance premiums if it goes that way.

there was 1 car in teh car park
and its a public one

[wizzzard]

As long as your mate isn't getting done over for letting you ride without insurance then thats at least one good thing to come from it

Expect nine point and bend over for the insurance company

You'll need this when you talk to the insurance company:

So the police came and you rode off and gave it back to your mate?

So how did they find out, you phoned them up and told them?

'trialed in court' means you will be prosecuted for something - namely driving without insurance and/or license.

[dave1324]

oh well suppose im going to have to deal with it now,,, get a good solicitor??

[Paulington]

I doubt the best solicitor in the world would be able to get you out of 9 points or so and a hefty fine.

Also do solicitors do court proceedings? I thought they only did court proceedings up to Magistrate's Court (not sure what level of court driving offences are prosectued in).

[Mister James]

Both offences are summary ones - it'll be tried at a magistrates' court.

The fact that it was in a quiet car park for a limited period of time may help as mitigation, which may reduce any penalty imposed by the bench - while still illegal, at least you weren't pulling mingers down the high street at school kicking-out time!

It's well worth seeking legal advice, but they are unlikely to be able to help you avoid a conviction as no insurance is an absolute offence - you didn't have it, you were using a vehicle in a public place = guilty.
