Plead Guilty by Post/At Court... What to put?
Discussion
Appears a bit harsh to me - as in disproportionate penalty.
Were expecting the arrival of a "learnermobile" for my eldest daughter shortly, and several people have pointed us at a local shopping centre carpark to learn the "mechanics" of driving before she hits the streets.
I confess I'd wondered if it was "legal" , I guess I know now.

As long as she is insured on the car it wont be a problem.Were expecting the arrival of a "learnermobile" for my eldest daughter shortly, and several people have pointed us at a local shopping centre carpark to learn the "mechanics" of driving before she hits the streets.

What had been suggested to me was to collect the car pre-17th birthday, get some practice in "off road" - which I agree is laudible/sensible, but in that context, it'd only be insured for parents to drive, not the learner - and hence "wrong" as per the OP. But, am not really bothered if we leave collection until after/day of, and collect then, and ofcourse then yes, she will be insured. It'd still be sensible to practice the "mechanics" off-line then too but she will by then ofcourse be "legal" to drive on the road too.

Could anyone clarify what "Non endorsable" means with regards to my second charge. If it means that it won't go on my licence I'm tempted to plead guilty simply to avoid potentially antagonising the judge, if its simply a fine I'm not too bothered!
A Tesco car park is not a road. You should plead not guilty. Unlikely to be a judge in the Magistrates' Court. If you plead not guilty then this offence is unlikely to be proceeded with - especially if you've pleaded guilty to the insurance offence.agtlaw said:

11:30 at night, in an empty car park, teaching someoen to drive. Really?
I hope you don't get knocked down off your high horse otherwise I don't know what you'd do having to walk around like the rest of us.
"uninsured criminally minded drivers" Pleb
The poster you quoted was being sarcastic.I hope you don't get knocked down off your high horse otherwise I don't know what you'd do having to walk around like the rest of us.

If anybody is interested I was awarded 8 points and a £360 fine.
8 points is the maximum for the offence
Seems harsh.8 points is the maximum for the offence
What was the impact on your insurance?
My renewal is in March, I may have to sell it if the price goes up too much (bearing in mind I'm paid £250/week)I best enjoy is while I can
