Overview
- Lavender Hill Magistrates’ Court disqualified the 74-year-old for six months and ordered a £307 fine, £130 costs and a £123 victim surcharge.
- She reached 12 penalty points after pleading guilty to driving 36mph in a 30mph zone in Wilton, Wiltshire.
- The court heard she already had nine points from two offences in October 2022 and another in April last year.
- She told magistrates a ban would be catastrophic because she cares for her older brother in a care home, but the bench rejected that claim.
- Under UK rules, drivers who reach 12 points usually lose their licence unless they prove exceptional hardship to others.
