Depends if he honestly declares them... Probably driving around on cheap as chips insurance.

If he tries to enter '42' into any of the screen scraper sites he'll probably break the internet.

If he has to phone his insurer I would love to listen in on that conversation!

Without being in court, we cannot know the detail of the circumstances, especially as this has been though the newspaper filter of truth.

To me it sounds like the guy was pretty stupid for a short period of time and to stand up in court publicly admitting to serious mental illness is likely to gain some sympathy. Also having played the exceptional circumstances card he is on an extremely short leash, even if he can even afford to drive with his financial woes.

The other thing I take from this is that his driving was so poor that it caught the attention of the police and rather than just let the S172s go through the system, they investigated, interviewed and were able to get him for both failing to nominate and the actual offences, so it does show that anyone who thinks failing to nominate is worthwhile to avoid a serious motoring offence should think carefully.

Then he'll be getting a letter from his insurer in the VERY near future, after all this publicity.

That, of course, is exactly why insurers can now access driver's records directly.

I need some help! I was pulled over 2 years ago and was caught driving with no insurance. I had to pay a £300 fine and I was given 3 points. I sent my license off and they returned it with my paper part which had the conviction code and date of the offence on with 3 points next to it. This was hand written on by someone as was my previous 3 points for speeding which have now expired. I renewed my driving licence recently and checked online my endourcments and it says I have 6 points for the crime of driving with no insurance. I understand the norm is 6 points and a fine but they wrote back to me informing me of the fine I had to pay and I would have 3 penalty points.
My question is, as they have written on my paper licence I have 3 penalty points for the crime which I have been convicted off yet on there system it says 6 do they have to honour the 3 points?

yeah because driving at 30 in a 20 zone is crime of the century, you show me a driver that claims to stick to 20 limits, and ill show you a liar.

even the police are unlikely to pull you for such speeds in a 20 zone.

If he'd been convicted for the actual offences, he'd have had another 3 points each time, so 63 in all.

Excellent news for serial speeders.

:T

And very bad news for your child crossing the road in the 50mph limit where he drove at 109mph.

No.

If a clerical error meant that a rapist walked free instead of going to serve his prison sentence do you think the police would be trying to catch him and put him behind bars?

I don't know why you need help, just make sure you drive like a pensioner for the next couple of years and you'll be fine.
