Hi,
I was driving my partner's car home this evening and was pulled over by a police officer for the back left brake light not working. Upon doing all of the regular checks the officer has to do, it came back that I wasn't insured to drive her vehicle (which is my fault for not reading the renewal documents properly, I accept that).
So the long and short of it is I now have a ticket, and I am waiting for something in the post advising the next steps. Any idea what I'm likely to face? I have 6 points on my licence which won't 'count' from November, but if I have another 6 to 'tot up' to 12, does that mean I will be banned until November?
In all fairness the officer understood my position and said it was something a lot of insurers were doing now, where people were insured before but aren't now.
And advice would be very gratefully received.
Thanks.
