Insulate Britain: Mum on school run who drove at protesters blocking road loses licence

Ok maybe she’s still a woman hater and it’s still IMO a bad judgement , this magistrate woman has made life even more difficult for this young woman who maybe a chav but is also a person with a child for an entire year. So she punishes the child as well as the ailing mother . Great job ,

‘ One of the protesters had written to the court saying they did not support the prosecution and did not want proceedings to continue, the court heard.

Ms Hebditch challenged the driving ban as it would mean Speid could no longer shop for her mother, who has multiple sclerosis, drive to work, or drop off her son at school or football.

However chairman of the bench Susan Hawkins said the offending was “serious enough” to warrant a ban.

She ordered Speid to pay £240 - a £40 fine, £95 victim surcharge and £105 in costs.

Speid was also told that she would have to retake her driving test.

Speid broke the law and the law won.

Using a vehicle as a weapon is not only malicious but also cowardly, the action of a bully.

Rubbish !
It’s was the action of someone who had a life to live taking their child to school and from thence to work unlike the protestors who clearly had no such commitments .

Anyway soon they will find themselves in trouble

You are, of course, entitled to that opinion but I would advise taking such action yourself in similar circumstances, e.g. encountering a road obstruction when driving a pet to the vet, since you will, possibly, find yourself on the wrong side of the law.

I suggest you stop talking as if everything is carved in stone their are such things as mitigating. circumstances .
Ridged adherence to the rules is not always the right thing to do . First and foremost those who instigated the situation and were sitting in the road where in fact breaking the law .

There are always alternative roads that avoid conflict, and, put the Press out of business.

But in this instance the aim of Insulate is not to avoid conflict but by causing public disruption to draw Press attention to their cause .

I know it’s not nice to laugh … but that was funny.

I meant that lady and her child.

You don’t know that if you stuck in a traffic jam in London you may not be able to turn around .

There is always an alternative route, unless you want to make a few quid on the way, off the back of real issues.
