I'm afraid that you are not going to be able to defend this matter. You will not be able to argue special reasons to avoid the points either. The fact that you were not able to pay for the insurance but continued to drive will not attract the sympathy of the court.
The only chance you have of avoiding the 6-8 points (and therefore avoid revocation) is if you can persuade the court to give you a short ban rather than the points.
Its not easy doing that and you have to be careful not to make the court feel manipulated.
I help almost 90% of my new driver clients avoid revocation and I would be happy to assist you further when the matter gets to court. Come back to me if you would like my help at that stage. I would charge a fixed fee of £500 plus vat to send an advocate to court with you to help with your mitigation and try and avoid the points.
