Hi, need some advice desperately. On the 3rd I got pulled over for taking a right turn when I was supposed to (it was dark and not familiar with the area) and police pulled me over. Got cautioned for that and they asked me what I was doing.. this is where it went downhill, because I told them I was on the way back from dropping off some groceries for my father in law, as he has a shop and they offer delivery for your groceries. Now, its unpaid and totally voluntary, I only did it because I was on the way back home and the persons house which I delivered to was on the way. They then laid down the law and told me I didnt have insurance. To which I replied yes I have and they said not business insurance. I did not know wtf he was talking about and he told me I cant be doing deliveries in my car and not have business insurance. I explained that usually if I help out, I do it in the dedicated delivery car, which I now know has business insurance, and I am a named driver on. But that same morning, I dropped off the delivery car because it needs a new clutch. They didnt care. I am totally **** because I have 6 points already and now ill get another 6 and get banned which I cant get over. Im the driver out of myself and my wife and work in Leeds 12 miles away for the nhs. My question is, is there ANY way of getting out of a driving ban? I can prove that the car was taken in that same day I can prove i dont get paid from my father in law for anything as it was just a favor. Shall I go to court and ask them to show me some mercy? I got letter in the post today (ra88801 offence code) for 6 pts and £300 fine. If I go to court will they fine me more? Is there a chance for less points? I cant go without my car for 6 months
. Any help will be appreciated. Please be nice im already stressed to the max because of the implications it will have on my life for the next 5 years! All for a favor.
