Court summonds No insurance

[cwspellowe]

Speak to a lawyer?

This.

In my head, if they're trying to prosecute you for driving a certain car with no insurance, and that car doesn't even exist, the case surely falls flat on its face? To then say "yeah well, you were driving a car with no insurance" would lead to a separate case.

I can't recall a time in British Law where they've accused someone of something, got it wrong, then in the same case gone "oh well you were definitely guilty of something else so we'll prosecute for that instead"

What does the actual Court Summons say, word for word, in relation to the offence?

Actually, scrap that

Clicky

Looks like any minor mistakes in things like the reg details etc can be amended under the slip rule as long as it bears no effect on the outcome. Wouldn't matter what the reg was in that case, as it doesnt matter what car you drive with no insurance, it's the same NIP on offer. You wouldnt get fined more for driving a Merc than a Vauxhall, so they can amend the statements and summons as and when they see fit. If it was the speed, for instance, they got wrong, then yes it could be thrown out, but it would appear an incorrect VRM makes no difference to trying to squirm out of it.

Sorry mate, doesn't look good
