He has been charged with driving uninsured. But they confirm he is now on the insurance as a result of his boss talking to the insurers etc so was able to drive it away.
his boss is saying he will pay the fine, but 6 points on a drivers licence does well for job prospects. He can argue it in court. but facts are facts. At the point he was stopped he hadn't got cover.

You might want to check with a lawyer on that one since it could potentially double his insurance but I'm pretty(well a little bit anyway) sure that if you can prove your son had a reasonable belief that he was covered (I.E. directly Informed this was the case by his boss..) then he may have a defence.
