Going to court over untaxed bike

My dh may lose his job and if he does, they'll be No money coming in, so won't beable to afford the house anymore.

So I'm sitting here in tears, dh is in work and I can't hold of him in work.

why didn't you tax it?

Oh, I'm so sorry you are having a hard time. Why would dh lose his job? Does it depend upon him using the bike?

Don't assume the worst - just think it through, work out all possibilities and try to sort out a plan for dealing with each of them.

Good luck!

It's because of who he works for. It was kept off the road most of the time, took it onto the road todo some work (as we have no spare ground around our house, so needed to go onto the road to do it).

Someone saw it.

Feel a bit calmer now though. These things happen to try us!

so he wasn't actually driving it or intending to drive it? That's a bugger. Hope it works out OK.

Thanks Edam.

Feeling much calmer today! We went through all the disciplinary stuff, and there is nothing obvious which is connected to going to court (all it says if you go to court and recieve a custodial sentance).

why would he lose his job over not taxing a bike?

If it was off road it should have had a SORN declaration?

Phew!

(nervousal, I imagine the dh works in something like the police or military or something where you can get into big trouble for breaking the law even if it's not directly relevant to your job...)

lol @ throwing eggs.

Dh is going to see his boss tomorrow if he is in.

(Worked out though that if he lost his job - resigning rather than sacked etc and we both worked, we would be better off!).

Just going to wait and see.

Edam, your on the right line with the jobs.
