driving without a licence

[Luke_S]

whats the penaltys, and can a police officer pull you over for no reason at all? my mate, did it last night cos he gotta new car for his birthday even though i advised him not to. anyone on here done anything like that?

[Gordi]

i once drove my new car round the block before i swopped the insurance over. i was shittin as there was a popo car in front of me :/

[Mochachino]

Did do when we were younger like 14. 2 mates got cought, but nothing came about it.

[Sparky26]

they will do a check on your licence plate new car and no licence probably means no insurance so that would pop up or he could have insurance but if he was on his own then its not valid so they will pull him over and royally rape his behind before he gets his licence :y:

[Pixie]

I let my mate drive my car round an empty car park last night :D My poor car never again lol Buuurrrnninnng clutch :(

[Yellow_Saxo_Paul]

can take the car off him and get crushed i think.

[Thou]

Penalties will be harsh, as, echoing what's already been posted, that also means no insurance, which is 6 points alone I think.

And yes, afaik old bill can pull you for whatever they want, even if it's just a random spot check.

[manta]

Driven round block that was it, 3am ftw.

Urm car park I think is legal though I'm not sure, driven a fair few cars that way.

Best place I have driven a car un insured would have to be the field by me where they do the car boot on a sunday morning, did that at 2am its a rally stage tbh set out some cones in the middle of the straight to make a chicane. Great fun but if you catch the grass your in for some spinny times :)

and if he hasnt got a licence when he gets one your only allowed 6 points in your first 2 yrs so will have to drive sensible all the time lol

Definitely illegal. If the police caught you, you + your mate would both get spanked with points.

"Under the Road traffic Act, a road is described as any road to which the public have access and includes bridges over which it passes. The access includes by invitation or inferal, so an industrial estate or supermarket car park also come under the RTA, you need to be fully road legal to drive on them"

[Yellow_Saxo_Paul]

6 points within 2 years of passing your licence gets revoked

Thanks for clearing that up :y:

[Mochachino]

When my mates got cought, the cars got taken off them and crushed. No fine and no points. Passed their test at 17 and had a clean license. Thats no license, MOT, insurance or tax on the car.

[citroen_saxo_vtr]

They will seize the car straight away and it would then go to court and you would end up with minimum of 6 points, they wont let you go get the car from the compound until you show valid insurance documents. This happened to my mate although it was insured and mot'd there system hadn't benn updated due to the car being an import, he got away with the court and 6 points because he gave valid documents the next day so he paid the release fee and that was that.

[MiniGibbo]

I got a mate who has been caught nurmerous times since he was twelve and now is banned from even taking his test (never had alicence) until hes 21.

Cant wait to see what his qoutes are once he starts driving leagally... i mean IF.

*Jokes aside though as funny as it is how would you feel if you spend serious wedge on your car and an uninsured driver ploughed straight into it.

[deans2k8]

yeah there a lad here got caught driving when he was 16 and isnt allowed to do his test till hes 19, not that i care hes a complete wanker anyway hopefully gets caught again cos he still drives...MORON!

[VTR01KBR]

iir when two of my mates got caught they were banned untill they were 21

[Moke]

A mate of mine got 4 years in prison and had to share a shower with the biggest grip you'd ever see..

In other words, tell your mate he's a dumbass and not to do it.

[AaronSimmons]

Police can do a stop check/search on any motor when ever they feel like it. Driving with no licence means he got no insurance so therefore they would 165 the car, put it in compound 170 to take it away there on 20quid for compound a day. Can be up to 12Points for no insurance/ no licence.

[xcore]

mate got done for it acouple of years back, got 6 points, when he passed his test he still had 6 points and his insurance was ridiculas

Oh yea forgot about about this part he also got 2 years in juvenile

[AA_Man]

yeh most of my mates drove around at 15/ 16/ 17 with b4 passing their test. luckily none of them got caught. one of them use to cruise around everywhere in his bros Clio when he was 15 /16 and passed one month after hsi 17th!! :p

[djflipsaxo]

Someone who I knew had been doing lessons, one night she jumped in her mates car to take it for a spin.
rozers were parked up behind them the whole time, just as she pulled off she got busted.
had her license revoked for 2-3 yers iirc. i expect she got a fine too?
She was a little shit and had been in trouble with the rozzers before, so i expect thats why they came down so hard on her?

[AaronSimmons]

Got to be pretty stupid to drive without a licence and no insurance.

[AA_Man]

yeh true. all my mates that did it said they did it for the rush!! lol :P

[hellovts]

do it when your younger. 5years on your liensce say you do it at 12 years old, get done at thirteen for that (apply for a liesnce five years after the date youl be scot free)

however do it at 15 ish, when you come to apply for one the offences will be on it (assuming no liensce + ins) thus as soon as you get a further three points within three years of the offence whilist holding a full uk liensce (at any point) it will automatically be revoked.

its abit complicated but basically it is not a good idea to drive without a liensce etc

bit of a crap system tbh if im honest. id change a few things.

[dannyboy2005]

I regularly drive with no licence.

[Peter_D]

There is no greater thrill in life than driving the wrong way down a motorway in a stolen car with no license or insurance, on your way home from the pub

[timmythechef]

people who drive without a licence and insurance push everyone elses insurance up on average between £29-£135 per premium, bastards :y:

Sorry lads

I just don't pay it. I've been fine for the last 2 years, why should i?

[djflipsaxo]

So when you get hit by an uninsured driver, get left a cripple and have to cope with a kid alone, where do you get the help from?

thats the eason i get so mad about uninsured drivers or 'illegal drivers' in a term

[adamm]

what would happen if (iv never done this btw) say i was in the passenger seat of my car insured etc and my mate was driving my car around with no licence. what would the police do would they still take the car and would the passenger owner of the car get any problems?

Driver is the boss. Any crimes committed, HE WILL be prosecuted.

Even if he was Uninsured and you were insured, he was the 'criminal' in charge thus him being f00ked.

And they have every right to take the car, how do they know you can drive? Theyre not going to waste their time checking DVLA records to say "Ok Adam, you can drive your mates car home"

Simply say "Your mate is done, you can thank your mate for a long walk home"

[french_baguette]

Driver is the boss. Any crimes committed, HE WILL be prosecuted.



What about if you fit foot controls on the passenger side of the car, just like driving instructers cars?

[dannyboy2005]

I guess, as the DRIVER has charge of the steering wheel, he will be done, as his a DRIVER. Why would your car have that anyway?

Your likely to get done too for doing that.

[daz_zz_er]

Did that when i was 16 and had my first car, but i lived in the new forest and literally drove about 30 metres then turned around and came back lol :P

Did what? Drive with no licence?

When i bought my Saxo, i drove it half way round a huge housing estate in Rushden, then when i got it home, father let me drive it down the road :y:

Happy times.

I drove with no nothing apart from tax and mot and i was only 16

[dannyboy2005]

My Car had no Tax lol. Drove it home from Rushden with no Tax, 1 bald tyre and a rear light out LOL.

Drove it the main road home too.

[frankie]

I toke my mates car down the lane once, i said it would be alrite no police ever come down here...

pulled into a side to let a car by, only when it when past i noticed the reflextive yellow stickers and the word police down the side. lol

[daz_zz_er]

Rude Boi!

[Philly1983]

At risk of being scorned.......

At the tender age of 19 i did, i "lent" a mates car, drove it, crashed it to the point where i had to phone the police on myself because it was on a country road and i was pretty badly injured although luckily nothing long term.
It was a AX and when i opened my eyes i found a engine on my lap, very lucky not to have caused serious damage to my legs.
I was charged with TWOK, Driving whilst not being with in due accordance of the law, or something like that, no insurance, no tax, no MOT.

I got 9 points on appeal because i was learning to drive which i needed to do for my job, that took a letter from my union representative and was given an extra endorsement without points.
So 2 endorsements
9 points
fines totalling £400
A car to replace
and when i did get a car, a 1.0 Seat Arosa costing £1200 my insurance was £1400

in the first 4 years of driving my insurance cost close to £6000 !
IMO i was lucky because im here writing about it, needless to say, its not worth the risk !!

[Peter_D]

I ran over and killed a middle aged man out walking his dog when i was 14 whilst driving pissed with no license or insurance, in a car with no tax or MOT

Was a bit of a downer but i was feelin alot better after another 8 cans

Shit! Well its a good story to show the conseqences :)

[bfc2dabone]

isnt it a little bit silly to be talking about this sort of stuff on an open forum

[Philly1983]

3 broken ribs, cuts on what seemed like every part of my body and a part of the steering column jammed about and inch in my thigh and about 2" from my jewels !! :fcuk:

In all honesty though the most painful part was having to tell people what happened, telling family how bloody stupid id been !!

I was going about 50 got to a T junction slammed on the brakes went straight on, kinda dropped into a ditch up the other side and burst through a small hedge, lucky not to flip over really.
My dad made me go work on the farm every weekend for a month, shameful if im honest.

Atleast it highlights the dangers of doing this sort of thing Imo.

thats true, but people could be dropping them selfs in it

[Philly1983]

I doubt the police will sit and monitor Saxo forums :p

And if they did......em it was just a story Mr Officer :y:

Yeah i can see where you are coming from :)

you would be surprised mate, not worth taking the risk

[daz_zz_er]

They do search Random places especially if they are looking for someone in particular.

[Sparky26]

well if there reading FUCK OFF AND DO SOME PROPER WORK!! :y:

[Luke_S]

you would be surprised mate, not worth taking the risk

I've heard they won't be able to do anything unless they see catch you in the act or they've got video evidence.

[TMSaxo]

Just don't do it simples.com

[TomBob]

Not worth the consequences IMO

[rey]

I first drove a car on the road at 13.

[twoga]

i think the people who drive on public road with no insurance, license, mot, tax are idiots and are just a waste in life and i think if you get caught, they should take your licence off you for good and never allowed to apply for another one

[Liams1]

your a fucking mug if you do that.

[Ste]

I bought a Fiesta MK2 Xr3i it was great. Had planned to do it up and have it as a first car.

Had no tax, no MOT, no insurance and I had no license. On a mates birthday he wanted to go for a drive in it, in the end I gave in. Let him have a blast. Got caught, I wasn't driving and I got 6 Points & £250 fine for allowing him otherwise they were going to do him for stealing it.

Lesson learned.

[Chuffy]

Everyone is allowed to drive a car once without a licence. It's just one of thoes unwritten rules of the road I guess.

[LouNYF]

Basically if you do it and get caught your fucked!

[Stocksy]

Just dont do it. Not worth the risk.

[jw1325]

I was charged with TWOK,

TWOC

Taking without owners consent :)

Hope you made him pay the fine.

Fuck me, doesn't matter how good a mate was to me, I'd never take points for someone else's fuck up. My licence is too precious for that. But fair play for taking it on the chin though bud.

Is he still your friend?!

A friend of a friend (yes really) drives with no insurance. He used to go to my school, he didnt have a car then. If I ever see him driving round I do believe I will give him a piece of my mind.
