No insurance case - take the points and get revoked!
Driving without insurance
Your road traffic offence question: I had a BMW with insurance, which covered me to drive other peoples cars 3rd party, I then exchanged BMW for a Honda civic, but before I got round to changing over the insurance, I got stopped and had to go to court. I tried to explain to the clerk, but she just said plead guilty they will go easier on you. So I did and lost my license under new drivers act and got £270 fine... Could I have won my case, have to go back to court as did not pay fine..

Im afraid the only way to avoid the revocation would have been to persuade the court to give you a short ban instead of the points. We achieve that on behalf of our clients on a regular basis - but its too late now. you get at least 6 points for no insurance offence so you were never going to persuade them to give you less than 6 points - the only other option was to get a short ban.
Sorry.
