yeah but she was denying that she drove away without leaving details based on some witness statement.

But the first article says that charge was dropped once it had been established that she had infact left them.

It all seems a bit odd, ok she hit someones car whilst parking or exiting, if there was no damage, no injuries, no insurance claims what is the problem?

I'm sure any of us not 'in the public eye' folk, in a similar situation would feel pretty narked at getting a £90 fine and 3 points.

I think attempts were made to make an example of her, but an example of what?

Maybe there's more than meets the eye.....

It's presumably using the mobile phone that lead to the 'driving without due care and attention' conviction and fine. Fair enough.

Sorry r1_pete, but if the law says I cannot use the phone even if I'm parked in a lay-by but with the engine running then how is reversing the car whilst on the phone any different. I would be knarked, you're right, but then I never use the phone whilst driving unless it's on bluetooth. If it's that important they'll ring again.

makes nit odds, we'll end up paying as she'll claim it on expenses.

If she'd been done for using the phone, I would agree, but that was dropped....

Just noticed that bit! Getting a DWDCA and £440 just for a no-damage 'parking incident' does indeed seem a little harsh!
