No insurance certificate

Ali_27

I was driving with my dad he has the car insured on his name , I’m not insured with him, we got stopped at a routine checkpoint, I didn’t have my license with me so I got told to bring the license and insurance certificate with me to a Garda station within 10 days what will happen to me when I show up with a license and no insurance certificate , I’m 18 and very scared something bad will happen .
thank you.

So you were driving without insurance ?
What type of licence do you have?
Have you insurance on another policy that covers you to drive another car 3rd party?

What was your father thinking of??
Try not to panic.You're probably looking at a fine and penalty points,or possibly a ban from driving.I imagine that this will have an impact on future insurance premiums also.

Is your Dad taking you out for practice? He should really add you as a named driver. You're covered in an instructor's car but if you're driving with someone else you need to check you're covered.

I'm afraid your father could also be in trouble for allowing his vehicle to be driven by an uninsured person.

This is crazy how on earth did ur father let this happen. Has ur father not advised you what the process is. Surely he’s long enough around to know what has to be right and wrong. Jest because u have a driving license does not cover u to drive he should of had more sense.
