will i have a warrant out for my arrest?

[marshymy]

Can anyone who knows about law/how the police work tell me if i'll have a warrant out for my arrest for this? A few weeks ago i bumped into someone's car gave my details and it turned out my insurance cancelled the policy a week before, the lady told the police and i received a letter asking me to fill in it i was the driver/nominate someone else if someone else was driving. It said for failure to give information and something to do with having no insurance. I haven't sent the letter back yet as i've been busy in the run up to christmas, my issue now is that my ex is here for christmas to see my daughter and he's got drunk and is being aggressive i feel i may have to ring the police if he gets any worse but will i be arrested if i do that?

???? anyone

No you won't. The driving issue is being dealt with and you are complying so there will be no warrant out for your arrest. If you feel unsafe please call the police.

No idea, sorry

BUT your & your DD’s safety is FSR more important than the consequences of getting into trouble re your insurance and I very much doubt they’d arrest you over no insurance & not sending a form in.

your safety needs to come first

If you need to call the police to have somebody violent or aggressive removed then please do so.

There won’t be a “warrant for your arrest” out so to speak, the police won’t come to arrest you today. But being busy with Christmas really isn’t an excuse for failing to provide information and return a form relating to a serious offence. You will absolutely be charged with driving with driving without insurance and are risking additional charges for failing to respond.

A driving issue v a violent ex is no issue. Phone if you need to.

If a warrant had been issued for your arrest then they would have come and knocked on your door early. Usually when warrants are issued, they are acted on. They don't just sit around on a computer on the off chance that the person would randomly get in touch with the police. If no one has come knocking on your door then there isn't a warrant out for you.

Call for help if you are in danger.

Once this is over, sort out the car stuff and return the form.

You're likely to get a fine or summons for the driving offences, but they won't have a warrant out for you.

Don’t worry about the insurance issue. That will be dealt with as it is for many people.

If your ex is being aggressive in your house please contact the police

Ring the police if needs be re: your ex, but please don't continue driving without insurance.

No you won't. Don't hesitate to call the police if you need to!

Send the letter back - you probably had 28 days to do so.

You will then get another letter with either a court summons or penalty notice.

As long as your car is insured now you don't have any real problem, the police can't confiscate your car as it is taxed & insured. As for not sending the paperwork back, I got a speeding fine a few years ago, I had sent the form back pleading guilty by post but forgot to send the payment & my licence back when I got the fine summons, all that happened was my fine was increased by £40 & they gave me an extra point on my licence, 4 points instead of 3. Nobody came knocking on my door to arrest me, just another letter 3 months later to tell me to get it paid or else.

Are you ok OP?

my car is taxed and insured now, thanks everyone it was him that put the thought in my head saying that i wouldn't be able to get him out of the house even if i wanted to because i'll have a warrant

Actually it would be helpful to have a record of how stressful he makes your life. I expect and would believe his behaviour could have contributed to your oversight.

So long as you are safe that truly is all that matters

So are you safe now op?
Did you call the police, or has he gone?
Sorry you're going through this at Christmas (or at anytime).
