Stupid Mistake!! (Updated)
Hi all,
Was taking my girlfriend home yesterday and in between where we live there is a quiet back road which you drive on for around 2 miles, I admit the road isnt perfectly straight so letting her have a go of my car wasnt the best idea!!
It was around 1am last night when I agreed to let her have a quick drive along this quiet road, keeping in mind she hasnt passed her test yet but is ready to go in for it (i am not making excuses), so all was going well and she seemed to be driving okay until a car got real close behind us and she started to get nervous, turned out it was the police and we were pulled over for a routine check apparantly.
I can honestly say I have never saw another police car on this road esecially not at this time of night, infact I rarely see any other cars to be honest.
So we admit to her not having a license straight up and no insurance and realise we have made a stupid mistake!!
We both had formal interviews just confirming the above that I owned the car, was insured etc and she didnt have a license or insurance.
After the interview we were sent on our way but told to expect a letter within a week with a court date, now I realise this is more my responsobility than hers and I am expecting to take most of the blame in court but any ideas what I should expect to recieve.
I am only 20 with just over 1 years driving expierence so anymore than 6 points and I lose my license, I totally admit this to being my fault and will do so in court and will not begrudge paying a fine for my mistake and learn from it but I really dont want to lose my license over this.
Anyone else been in similar circumstances or have any advice?
Thanks, Sam
