i had a brainfade moment today and drove through a road that was blocked by Highway Maintenance.i had to get onto a pavement, drive about 200 meters and then come to a clearing. on the way i passed a pedestrian but i got off the road for them and was about 10 feet distance from them to my left. i was driving at 5mph or less. no other traffic but this pedestrian.at the clearing the road ahead was blocked. a man came out of the Highway Maintenance van and took photographs of me and my car and said i had driven through blocked road, therefore my car didn't have valid insurance or mot and i had endangered civilians and police would get involved. i do not know if he photographed my driving past the pedestrian. i have held a clean license for more than five years and about 5 years ago i attended a driving training course for speeding.today's offence is a first for me and i am panicked. what am i looking at in terms of penalties and charges?thanks in advance
