No MOT hit a bus at 17yrs old

[daxtojeiro]

Hi all,
wondered if anyone can tell me what the likely outcome of this is. My son (17yrs old) has hit a bus, not much damage to bus but written his car off. Police involved and got a producer. Just got home and relaised the MOT ran out on the 7th March! Will he get points for this? I beleive if he gets 6 he will lose his licence, he only passed test 2 weeks ago,
thanks for any help,
Phil

I had thought of that, Im hoping the bus company will accept us paying for the damage and therefore not go through the insurance. Ive got the number of the guy to ring, but was going to leave it till tommorow to ring him so he could have a look at the damage,

So it doesn't look good then!

Thanks for that, I will ring the insurance company, he wasn't speeding, just didnt see it brake!!
I guess we will just have to see what happens with the bus company,

Hi all,
thanks for all the answers, he has his own insurance and it would be impossible to get the car to an MOT station let alone pass one now its in this state. I will try and get down the police station tomorrow with him and see what they say about it all,

Thanks all,
yes the police were there and they did tell him he may be prosecuted, but it was up to the CPS I think.

I took your advise and went down to the police station and they didnt say anything about the expired MOT. Does that mean he may have got away with it?

Just to update you all,
the police didnt press any charges and the MOT, or lack of it, wasn't mentioned so I guess they missed that,
thanks for all the advise,
