Alleged Offence: 5 times no insurance coming
Your road traffic offence question: Hi i have been caught 5 times with no insurance in the last 3 months only going to court on friday for the first time... i kept telling the police that i have insurance and i will produce it the only reason i done this is that i didnt want the car to be seized and its my dads car...my dad thinks i have insurance but car is in his name i have been caught a total of 5 times in this car of his.... was caught last year twice i only got a 2 week ban for that... i already have 6 poins and i am a r driver.... i just cant afford insurance...... only reason i got off last time because i was going to work at 9 in the morning any held would be great or advice

 

Answer;

Im afraid that you are going to be banned from driving and and it will be for at least 6 months if not longer.
You have to have insurance. You cannot chose not to buy it. If you cannot afford it then you cannot drive.
If you drive whilst disqualified you will be at serious risk of being sent to prison.
You need to understand the purpose of insurance.
If you were to hit and injure someone without insurance they could end up disabled for life and would not get any compensation to help them to live in comfort or to provide for their children etc.
You are being very irresponsible and putting everyone else in danger. i don't normally get angry or preach to people but in this case you must appreciate that you are putting everyone else at risk of the court will have no sympathy.

There is no way that you are going to avoid a ban this time round and I think it will be for a long time....
