If you do not have a full driving licence, it is imperative that you do not operate a vehicle, unless you are a ‘learner driver’ and have a full licence owner sat with you.
If you choose not to, you stand a very high chance of being caught as the Police have the technology to track if your car is insured, MOT’d and if you have a valid licence. Driving whilst you do not have a full driving licence is a serious motoring offence and can lead to serious punishments and fines. This is also moderated by the DVLA who will put you on their records of not having a full driving licence.

Penalties;
The punishments you can face therefore are 3-6 penalty points on your licence, fines of up to £5000, face a ban of acquiring a driving licence for a period of time and paying for any damages you may have caused.
Defences;
A ‘special reason’ is something that does not amount to a defence, but is connected with the offence. It must be a mitigating circumstance and something which the court should properly take into account. These cases often raise complex issues and it is important to seek legal advice at the earliest opportunity if you think your case may amount to a ‘special reasons’ situation.
