I had the intermediate trial for my case of driving without insurance last Friday. Unfortunately the procurator fiscal intends to go to full trial on May 14th. My brief says I still have a strong case with two distinct lines of defence. One is that the the 2 PC's spoke to 'somebody' in a call centre at the Motor Insurers Bureau who advised that I didn't have commuting on my insurance policy is hearsay and inadmissible
The second is the definition of commuting - regular travel to and from a place of work - if I can satisfy the judge that it was a one off journey on that vehicle I may get off it
I'm preparing for a fine and 6 points, plus costs though
