The maximum penalty is a �5000 fine, a discretionary ban and /or 6-8 points on your license.
Driving with no insurance is an absolute offence, and you cannot plead that you did not know the vehicle was not insured as a defence.
Expect a fine of a couple of hundred pounds or so and 6 points. It may be more.

I am glad that your two babies were not hurt, however as the previous post said you cannot rely on someone else to make sure something is insured and I wonder how long it had not been insured, it seems odd that he has paid everything for 23 years and then suddenly you find yourself uninsured. So although it may seem as if you are innocent, in fact it was you driving without insurance and that could have had far more horrific consequences if there had been a fatality or something. I do sympathise however as I am sure many of us 'assume' that the other half has paid things, but it is certainly no defence in law.
yes i know guys, i thought if i posted it here then mabey i would hear better news, but, however i was wrong, oh well better look on the bright side, it could have been worse, and as far as my husband goes, is leaving me in future to take care of my own insurance.
