Driving without insurance

Please no penalty points
Driving without appropriate insurance
Your road traffic offence question: Unfortunately due to a hefty work load and other responsibilities i was caught driving without insurance. i was and still am insured under another vehicle and although it is no defence, i simply did not find time to swap vehicle details.
Ther were several procedures the police officer followed which after some research with an aquaintance in the west mercia police, i found to be incorrect?
I would like to stress that i do not condone my behaviour but as a person with a previous clean criminal and driving record would hope there may be something i could do to avoid the 6 penalty points if not the fine which i am more than happy to pay.
Thank you for your time

Im afraid that if you accept it was an oversight on your part there is nothing that you can do in order to avoid the points in relation to this matter, you don't have a defence or a special reasons argument..
The only possible way would be to ask for the matter to go to court and try and persuade the magistrates to give you a very short ban instead of the points.
Have you got any penalty points already or are you a new driver? Tell me more and I will be able to assist further.
