Last summer I was walking out of my house to get something from my car. I had parked on double yellow lines the night before and there was a garda standing at my car taking details. I approached him and he asked for my license which I didnt have on me at the time. (I had a learners permit). He then asked me to move my car so I did. He asked me to produce my license and I failed to do so. I was on holiday the next day and had actually lost my permit so ultimately failed to produce. I didnt think much of it. I have now recieved 2 court summonses for failure to produce and driving without a license.
I have no previous interactions with the law. I did have a license at the time. Does anyone have any idea of what might happen? Im terrified of going to court to be honest.
Also, just wondering because someone told me that a garda cant ask you to produce if you werent driving the car at the time and the sumonses does say "whilst driving you were asked to produce" which is not true, I hadnt even sat in my car when he asked me to produce. Is he allowed to have asked me to produce?
Thanks for the help
