Legal question? |
My son has passed bike test and has licence, tax and insurance. he has been charged in the uk for letting his friend - who does not have insurance etc ride his bike. No one was hurt and no damage to other peoples property charge is purely that he allowed friend to drive bike. Does anyone know what penalty he is likely to get for this? He is 16 yrs old. he is afraid he will lose his licence. He'll get the same as the uninsured rider. Since he's 16, he will be a new rider and liable for a ban if he totals 6 points Points definitely and probably a fine too. I am surprised at your attitude to this, I sense that you seem to think that it is alright. in usa the car/bike has insurance not the person...[usually] We all learn from experience. Hopefully he won't lose his licence as he hasn't actualy committed a driving offence. All the best, remind him it's not the end of the world and he should try not to worry about it. Yes,he may get points added to his license,and certainly he and his friend will be fined,as the friend must have been charged too,as he had no insurance himself. Points and a fine. It's his first offence, so will not be banned. If someone had been hurt, they would not have been able to claim for their injuries, which means that potentially expensive medical bills would have to be paid for by the victim. Hence why it is an offence to not have insurance if your son willing let his mate use the bike and knowingly knew that he had know insurance than i,m afraid he broke the law. if his friend told him he had insurance and was legal to drive the bike then you can plead not guilty but the friend has got to stand up in court and tell the magistrates that he lied to your son and told him that he was insured. this thing happens all the time and it happens to all ages. he will get 3points (standard) for allowing a uninsured driver to drive the bike but also if dealt with by the courts the judge can add on up to 3 more points if he feels that this is likely to happen again(rare) and also a bigger fine. 3points and 拢60 fine with 拢15 costs is the more likely out come. |
