Bald tyres

[J0Al1]

What are the chances of the police letting you off having illegal tyres IF you sort them there and then when caught?

Otherwise I realise it is 6 points and £30 per illegal tyre?


IF said person had no valid insurance too, which is 6 points and £200.. are they looking at loosing their licience?

[Nope.]

Depends what kind of cop you get, some might be alright and let you off one tyre, but if both a bald then they'll probably do you for it. For the cost of two tyres you get both a safer bike and remove the risk of getting caught, worth it IMHO.

No cop is going to let you off having no insurance though. The 6 points just isn't worth the risk.

Who is it?

[P.addy]

Sounds royally fucked tbh.

6 points, IN10 and £200+ fine.

Might get less points, but not sure

[J0Al1]

OK Glad it is funny....

Worst case - he looses his lic....

When can he re-do it?

It expires soon anyway and he has booked to re-validate in this Friday.

[Kris]

They will be summoned to a Magistrates court and charged with no insurance which will result in code IN10 and 6 points on their licence. Expect £200+ fine.

You may be lucky enough to only be charged with the insurance offence - I would definately try anyhow.

Not the end of the world and depending on how many points they already have then they could still keep their licence.

Thank Kris, that is what I am hoping. He has a clean licence at the moment.

The tyres are bald in one patch, but IMHO not horrific.. I am all for good tyres, but I was not horrified that he is riding it.

Hence.. sort it now and get the evidence that you took them seriously..

The IN10 - sux balls, but can not be avoided.


I have my fingers crossed !

What paperwork did they issue with the stop? If they issued a defect notice and not an FPN for the tyres then 'he'll' likely be off that bit. Sometimes lesser offences just get forgotten when there's a biggie like IN10 to go through. Likewise sometimes the CU penalty can just go through as one endorsement regardless of the number of defects.

Could get lucky, I guess.

If 'he' gets the full 12 points then it'll be a totting up ban, 30 days I think. Assuming not within the new driver probationary period?

[Alpha-9]

Could have been much worse.

Pay the piper

He only found out he didn't have insurance when the copper checked his details. He swears now that he does and it must be a mistake.

The tyre - yes he is a retard and I need to punch him a few times.

Paper work - he got given nothing at all - the coper said he would receive a letter in the post (I assume about the insurance).

[J0Al1]

What is the nature for the no insurance? As letters should have been sent out informing of the issue.

Also, loose is slack, lose is lost, you can't loose a licence but you can lose one

Hi

For the insurance they will just be checking the motor insurance database. If he has recently taken out his cover (ie, in the last week or 2) then a fair chance it has just not got on there yet.

Get him to chase up his insurer now. Find out what they are playing at. They might have cancelled the cover (but the rules for that are complicated and meant to be done mutually). They might have got his registration number wrong somewhere (or the copper might when he checked).

All the best
