Good morningI am asking for some advise in regards to attending court in regards to a charge of 6 points and a fine.I was stopped forNot having insurance, car was impounded costing me 250 to get out. I am guilty as charged and mortified.I have requested to a plea in court with mitigating circumstance, that’s being menapause and the affects it has had on my memory! And how I genuinely kept forgetting to get it sorted. Before menapause I would never had believed what impact it had on a woman’s body and mind.I currently already have an sp30 from 2 years ago so this could currently top me up to 9 points! I’m extremely worried. I work for the ambulance service and 60% of my job is driving an ambulance. I’m a single mum who runs around after my children and help with my sister with lifts! Financially I am broke and am going bancrupt in April. Cost of living is crippling me.I have since received another notice of 37mph in a 30, I recall it well as i was going down hill following flow of traffic and realising I was going over and slowed down! Too late as it seems.This is now totalling me up to 12 points.Has anyone had such bad luck and had a positive outcome fromCourt. I really hope the judge takes mercy and is more leaniant with me in regards to points so I can keepMy job that I love so much and proud to do. Would you suggest I get a solicitor to attend for me or defendingMyself would be better?Any advise please.Thankyou
