It wasnt his kid it was his 20something year old girlfriend.
joshy we git a lot of dinner left ocer if you fancy some by the way
Mate I'm so stuffed it actually hurts. I'm not moving anywhere today unless it is to the toilet or to get some more drink
.Because the OP wasn't behind the wheel at the time, and yet has still lost his license as a result of it.
No one is here saying that the GF shouldn't have been punished but a polite warning from the plod would have been enough for the OP. I bet from the moment he saw flashing blue lights he decided that he wasn't going to do it again, but instead of some common sense policing they've gone and drastically affected this guys life, probably ruined his chances of getting the job/career he was after and for what purpose? It doesn't even serve as an example, I bet everyone here who would let someone else drive their car if they were asked before reading this thread still would.

You give in to easily.
Not that it matters in this case as it wasn't his child.
Time for a nap I think Mark.

no im gonna battle on theres allk sorts of peoplwe her and im still waiting for me sons present
There wouldn't be a problem if he was behind the wheel. He was the one who let her drive the car, it was his car, he was the person responsible for being in charge of the vehicle at the time. It's been a while since I read the OP but wasn't he also under the age/experience limit allowing him to take learners out?
The police can show discretion but I doubt the courts can so they have to follow the law sadly.
I wouldn't let many people drive my car, even those who have insurance and a licence, there is no way I would let someone drive it without either of those, it just isn't worth it - and I've held those views ever since I started learning to drive.
So that makes it ok then?
I want to drive a brand new SLS, that doesn't mean I can go and break the law to drive one.
Thjers only one thing for it u tell them swines at mercedes you need a long test drive

Yes, but he WASN'T DRIVING. Like I said, he's probably not going to get the Apprenticship with BT, his insurance is going to be stupid money, he has to retake driving lessons and tests and all for a driving offence that didn't actually involve any driving! Life set back a few years for what?
The person in charge of a motor vehicle is the person behind the wheel actually doing the driving and should cop full responsibility.
I know they do. My beef isn't really with the courts, it is with the police. It should have never gotten this far!
Different strokes for different folks. For me as long as I know you and can find you (if you put it into a tree and do a runner!
) then I'm happy to let anyone drive my cars. If you break it I want it fixed and if you rag it I'm going to give you hell, but other than that, have fun. And this is my attitude towards people I don't even know that well, I certainly wouldn't have an issue letting my GF have a spin without seeing a copy of her driving license, paper counterpart and insurance certificate. That's not even vaguely comparable!
