yeah i know where your coming from but it was a better choice then leaving it in the middle of the road
there were only 2 lanes working because of the roadworks and wouldve been pretty dangerous leaving it sitting there

As soon as it was out of the roadworks you should have stopped driving and then called for help. I'm not saying what you did was totally wrong but as soon as you were out of the roadworks you should have stopped.
Hopefully you won't get a hefty penalty for this

Id have probably done the same thing you did mate in that situation.
Unfortunately you got caught. You'll get 6 points and a £200 fine.

At the end of the day you were on the road without insurance, MOT & tax.
It's 7-10 points for no insurance, and I got 8 for having no insurance.
God knows what you'll get for not having anything.

Did you get any pictures of where the car would have been if you left it? At least you might be able to present them in court and explain why you thought it would be best to move it.
