Driving without a licence
Jul 6, 2010
I didn't know my licence was revoked
i, i was stopped last month as a random stop by the police and he done the normal police checks and then he informed me that i had no valid license as it had been revoked last year due to me being charged for driving without insurance which i knew nothing about either no license or insurance. in 2008 December i was given 3 points for stopping in a pelican controlled area then i was informed the system said i had no insurance so i was told to produce in 7 days, i went and said to my knowledge i was insured my mom and dad paid it for me and to my knowledge i was informed, i was told by person on reception if the case was to be taken forward you will be informed, i never heard nothing i moved out of my then house in july 2009 and still hadnt received and correspondence of anybody from police or court, i was then stopped in june 2010 and told by the police officer the system shows u have no license as it had been revoked due to me being charged for driving without insurance which i was charged with 6 points which meant under the new drivers act my license had been revoked, i knew nothing of any of this. so i have been charged for driving without a license even though i knew nothing about it. i have received a summons to go to court over this matter can you help me?

I can help you with this matter.
Its sounds as though you were convicted in your absence and the court imposed 6 penalty points.
Because you did not engage, the DVLA have revoked your licence.
You may get another no insurance charge this time which will put you at risk of a totting ban for 6 months if convicted. the police may argue that the lack of a licence invalidates your insurance.
If you would like my help then please come back to me. I would charge a fixed fee of £600 plus vat to deal with an exceptional hardship argument if you are facing a totting ban. We may be able to reopen the old case and get the 6 points off by making a special reasons argument. this would lift the revocation going forward. the fee includes you representation at court - come back to me if I can help further and we can talk.
