  • Being taking to magistrate court over 144A and C traffic offence

    The car was in my sons name and he was insured on it and then decided he wanted to sell it so delivered car to us ( his parents, ) as we had the time to sort this, he was still the registered keeper, he cancelled his insurance and we ( parents ) insured the car and our son is being prosecuted for not having insurance. The car was sold soon after. It seems a nonsense that he should be taken to court for this as the car was insured until it was sold, what should we do?

    Hi and welcome

    There is no need for the registered keeper to be the policy holder.
    I assume DVLA were informed your son's insurance was cancelled, but have not been informed of your policy.

    So your son needs to send a copy of your insurance certificate to DVLA showing there was no break in cover.
    If they don't withdraw the charge attend court with same documentation

      Can you clarify a couple things, please:

      When was the alleged offence? Before or after the car was sold?

      Was there a period of SORN and/or no insurance cover before the car was sold?
