This story tells how driving instructor Alan Taylor, 51, admitted to having no insurance when he appeared in front of magistrates on December 6. He was driving an uninsured car back from the garage when he was stopped by police.
Now, I’m not defending him, but when you read the story it doesn’t look like he did it deliberately – it was just bloody silly, really. Yes, it’s his own fault, but he’s not like the trash who purposely don’t even consider buying insurance and yet who still drive.
Taylor had told the court that he could get stricken from the Register and lose his job as the minimum penalty for having no insurance is 6 points. The court listened and then awarded him six points. The story doesn’t say if he’s been taken off the Register.
So, this bloke who made what appears to be a stupid mistake may well lose his entire livelihood. I’m again reminded of the little scumbag, Callum Lines, in a recent story who basically lost nothing by driving like a maniac – without a licence or insurance – to evade police who tried to stop him.
The lack of intelligence frequently demonstrated by English Law is truly staggering.
