Just out of court!!!!
Discussion
For those of you who may have followed my story, I have just left the magistrates court having been fined £450 and given six points. To my amazement - no ban. All I have to do is retake my test. I cannot believe how lightly I got off.
I can say quite confidently, with my hand on my heart though, that this has taught me one hell of a lesson. I have never been so scared and will never ever do anything like that again.
Thankyou again to everyone who took notice.
Thanx, GBS

No where's that 'phew' smiley?
Yes. They dropped the obstructing charge as I confessed quickly afterwards of my own free will. The fine by my reckoning could have been a lot bigger. The duty solicitor was surprised at the leniency of it all.
It's not so much phew, as I can't believe it. It still hasn't sunk in. So here's me rolling around deliriously happy...

Something like that isn't worth risking destroying your relationship with your brother. Good job you 'fessed up huh?
One question, how can you not be banned if you now have 6 points? (considering you didn't have a licence)
The 6 points is outside of the 2 years probationary time after your FIRST UK driving test. I now have to retake my theory and practical which I can do immediately. Once I pass I will just have six points, but from the date of conviction.
My suit is very nice, black pin-striped not brown-striped. It probably wasn't too far off though.

Am glad it went alright for you, Liebchen. Just make sure you concentrate on passing test und read a book about "Owning a car" - published by DSA. Tells you all you need to know about your responsibilities und a bit about maintenance too.
Und do not do anything so silly again. Told you would not get locked up
