Driving without a licence
Oct 12, 2011
Why didn't the police warn me before I did it..?
i got out my car outside my home and a police car roared up to me from nowhere.the policeman saked me if my name was douglas seddon , i said yes.he then asked me to get in the back of the car , i did .
he said to me do you only have a provisional license, i said yes , he said we have had information that you have been driving around on one .
he then had my car removed to a compound and said i would have to pay £150 to have it back outside my home the next day which didnt make sense to take it then me pay that amount to put it back in the same spot.
my point is why did they not call to my home as soon as they got the information and warn me not to drive the car on a provisional. it seemed to me he waited for me to commit the offence as it now goes to court. is there a way of finding out when they received the information on me and if they should of called on me prompt and warned me rether than waiting for me to commit the offence. its like saying i know that mans got a knife so lets wait till he uses it rather than prevent it.

Im afraid the police are under no duty to warn you about committing offences before you do it - they will simply try and catch you doing it. they can seize the car of you are driving it without the correct licence.
The court wont criticise the police - they will simply criticise you for committing an offence.
Sorry but your argument will fall on deaf ears and you will probably make matters worse. You should simply say sorry and accept responsibility for your actions if you want to get the lowest sentence.
