I was in a 4 car smash... October 2010. I have a clean licence but only have 6 points avaliable as have only been driving just over a year.
I am a careful driver and never take risks. I was driving around 30mph in the fast lane as there was alot of traffic. I think a lorry pulled out a few cars ahead causing everyone to slam on their brakes. I also did this but failed to stop in time and hit the back of another vehicle. I was then hit from behind and pushed into the vehicle in front of me again. My car was the only write off and i was the only one injured. I had 10 weeks off work with severe whiplash and a sprained sacroilliac which is still giving me problems from time to time. I lost alot of money being off work and was unable to drive due to the pain i was in, so had to rely on family and friends for food shopping and various tasks.
I put in a claim for compensation as i had lost quite a bit during the time i was off. I also had a private medical examination by my solicitors proffesional doctor who confirmed i had sprained my sarcroiliac. The claim was going through well and the driver behind admitted liability. Then a few weeks ago i was issued with a summons for driving without due care and attention. It has been 6 months since the accident and now im due in court. Can anyone help me with this?

I have not read all the answers to your previous identical questions, but one thing i think has not been properly answered is your understanding of the "New Drivers" rules.

If you do get six points you will not be disqualified from driving but your full licence will be revoked and you will revert to provisional status. You will still be able to drive, but as a "Learner". You will have to pass your test (both parts) again.

The revocation is carried out by the DVLA and the magistrates have no discretion over this process.
If you drove into the back of the car in front then it shouldn't be too much of a surprise, I'm afraid, to be charged with driving without due care and attention.
You may also find a car damage and personal injury claim landing through the post relating to the car you hit.
