Barton swerves driving ban

And that's the issue. "As usual". Joey in court or in trouble for something is a regular occurrence. Some will defend him every time, others will say he shouldnt be near our club. Personally its tiresome and does no good for the club or team. 
Grow up Joey ffs.

it must be bloody brilliant being you, you're obviously one of these people that doesn't make mistakes, well guess what I do, I do shed loads wrong, I've driven my car without MOT a few years ago, I did not realise it had ran out, about 15 years ago I also drove without tax again I forgot all about it, I'm a lorry driver and a few months back I hit a Mercedes car in Birmingham, again my fault although he was in my blind spot, it's OK Joey we all make genuin mistakes accept for the odd person on here obviously

Does nobody commenting on this know how the law works regarding car insurance?
Lets (reasonably) assume that JB is insured to drive his own motor; if we also (just as reasonably) assume that said insurance is Fully Comp, then normally that would cover him (3rd party) to drive someone else’s car. However, that car also has to be insured by the owner for JB’s own insurance to be valid whilst driving it. So it is entirely possible that he borrowed the car automatically assuming the owner was insured and that consequently his insurance would cover him - no problem. As it turns out, the owner (and therefore the car) was not insured, rendering JB’s insurance invalid when he was driving it. And the judge awarded the fine and points because, in the eyes of the law, JB really should’ve checked first.
I would imagine there are quite a lot of people who have borrowed vehicles from family members or friends assuming everything was fine & driven without actually having insurance cover.

Of it could just be that JB is in fact the Antichrist . . .

The other car doesn't need to be insured, it just needs to be owned by somebody else and they've given you permission to drive it.

However if Barton's own car is a company car then he won't have a driving other vehicles extension to his policy.

are you 100% on that, that doesn't sound right to me?

How else am I supposed to keep up with latest news on Megan Markle?!   (never look at The Sun,  DM for the showbiz - I'm shallow)

I don’t think that is what is being suggested but I also don’t see where the incentive is for a multi millionaire to deliberately drive without insurance to save a few pennies when the repercussions (for someone who constantly needs to drive up and down the country for family reasons) could be hugely disruptive to their daily life.
