Banned from driving for 2 years can i appeal this?

[Clairemj]

yesterday I was banned from driving for 2 years along with a 4month month suspended sentance for 2 years and a �350 fine.
It wasnt for drink driving or anything like that, infact i wasnt even the one driving. My partner had taken my car on several occasions even though he wasnt insured or indeed had a license. When police had questioned him he told them that i had given him to permission to take the car, in order to save his own skin. Even though i have refuted this the court still banned me. I am now a single parent with three young children, and dont know how am i going to be able to manage without my license. Up until this i had held my license for 3 years and it was clean, i have never recieved a fine or penalty points.
Was this judgement harsh? is there anything I can do to sort this out? I have already sent away complaints to the police ombadsman but they have told me that it could take up to 18 months before any of the issues are resolved. my solicitor told me yesterday that appealing against that paticular judge wasnt such a good idea, can i request a different judge for the appeal?

There is more to this than allowing uninsured driving.

That offence (as with driving uninsured) does not carry a custodial sentence and therefore a suspended sentence cannot be imposed. In addition the length of the disqualification is way outside the sentencing guidelines for that offence - even for a repeat offender.

Tell us what you were really convicted of, clairemj and we may be able to help more.
