Hulagirl79 He Is Still Grounded From The Incident The Only Place He Goes Is To College And Back And To His Supervision Order 2 Times A Week And He Does Most Of The Chores Around The House As I Am Recovering From An Operation
He Does Know He Was Doing Wrong But As He Was Forced He Was Scared As To What Would Happen To Him He Does Still Cry About It As He Knows Things Could Have Been Alot Worse

Well i ahve to say at least he seems to realise what he did was wrong.

I dont think buying him a moped is a good idea.
How about make a deal with him that if he gets a part time job and saves his money that on his 17 birthday you will match it. Put it towards driving lessons ob providing he stays out of trouble.

Can you tell me then why he doesnt just get a pushbike like most other teenagers?

Who on earth get's a free moped on a plate anyways, without working their rear end off for it like we all used to do?

That makes me sick. Spoilt kids everywhere, parents to blame.:mad:

I Think You Are Right I Think That Is The Right Solution Because He Will Have Matured Abit More By Then And He Would Realise The Meaning Of Money Abit More And He Just Doesn't Get Things In Life For Free
Thankyou For Talking And Not Being Sarcastic Like Some Of The People On Here

We were all teenagers once and we all did some very stupid/silly things

Yes, but speaking personally, nothing actually criminal.

I'm not a lawyer but I would be willing to put money on the fact you can't get banned unless you are the driver. Like I said i'm only guessing but I'm quite certain.

I have an old mate that was caught as a passenger of a stolen vehicle and all he received was a 'allowing yourself to be carried' punishment. Think he got minimal community service and a small fine.

If he was not driving it why did they ban him from driving ?

Don't put too much money on it because you certainly can get banned even if you are not the driver

I don't know for sure, but I would have thought that it would run from when he is legally entitled to drive - not sure whether it would start from 16 (when he can ride a moped), or 17 (when he can drive a car).

The ban starts from the date it is imposed by the court, irrespective of the age of the person receiving the ban. Therefore if a 12 year old received a 2 year ban it would expire whilst they were 14.

And to counter the response of "so what's the point of banning them", the penalties available to the court for someone driving whilst disqualified are vastly greater than someone driving under age without a licence.
