    Hi guys

    here is the story, we went to the town for shopping today and my wife drove my car back from the town. went through a check point today, guards has stopped us and checked the insurance/tax, which is fine as I have it displayed.
    however, He started asking for her driving license ect... and asked her if she got an insurance to drive my car. she has her own insurance for her own car alright, but I doubt if her insurance will cover her to drive my car too. we have to ring up the insurance company to check this out on Tuesday, but in the meantime, the guards asked my wife to produce her insurance cert in a garda station within 10 days. My question is, how serious is this? if she find out on Tuesday that her own insurance won't cover to drive my car, will she go to court?

    thank you all.

    Without giving specific legal advice, which would be against the rules of the forum, driving without insurance is a mandatory court appearance and up to 5 points, or the judge could well impose a ban.

    Also, any decent insurance company will have a helpline open over the weekend.
