It seems English is not your first language, have you asked for
an interpreter?

The duty solicitor should be available to speak on your behalf.

All done in court now. Big thanks to this forum for all help and
guidance.
15 months ban reducing to 11 months if I complete the course.
Fine around 500£
Duty solicitor was there to guide me.
And duty solicitor said criminal record will be there for 12
months and in police history for very long period.

Just a thought, did you have an EU or UK licence?

I'm not too sure why Roy asked the question.

Not speaking for him but I've seen on other forums where there
is an assumption that if you are in possession of both a UK and
an EU driving licence then you can present one and keep the
other one clean.
So Pawel, originally from Gdansk but now living in Colchester,
gets 6 points for speeding and hands over his Polish driving
licence - his UK licence remains clean and if insurers check the
DVLA database when he comes to reinsure his vehicle they'll find
nothing.
The assumption is wrong but it seems to have legs.

Yes. That's why I asked.
