.comsaint Posted 23 November, 2009 Share Posted 23 November, 2009 Harriet Harman's driving summons Monday, November 23, 2009 Harriet Harman, deputy leader of the Labour party, is to be prosecuted for driving without due care and attention and using a hand-held mobile phone. After the incident on July 3 in Peckham, London, in which Ms Harman is reported to have hit a parked car, the Crown Prosecution Service has decided 'there is sufficient evidence and it is in the public interest to prosecute'. Reports suggested that Ms Harman stopped at the scene and then drove off without leaving her details. A spokesman for the MP for Camberwell and Peckham said: 'Miss Harman strongly refutes the allegations and will deny the charges.' If magistrates find her guilty, Ms Harman could be fined up to £6000 for the offences, have penalty points put on her driving licence and may receive a driving ban. Labour introduced the law banning the use of hand-held phones while driving in 2003, when Ms Harman was Solicitor General. Ms Harman was banned from driving and fined £400 in February 2003 for speeding at 99mph on a motorway. She was also fined £60 and given three penalty points for speeding in 2007. http://www.autocar.co.uk/News/NewsArticle/AllCars/245235/ Throw the book at her I say. The b*tch has got previous!

Ponty Posted 23 November, 2009 Share Posted 23 November, 2009 The ban for sub 100mph speeding was harsh. Unless it was particularly busy, wet or foggy that day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EastleighSoulBoy Posted 23 November, 2009 Share Posted 23 November, 2009 Can MPs claim 'expenses' for fines incurred during the execution of their duties? Just a thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

.comsaint Posted 8 January, 2010 Author Share Posted 8 January, 2010 Tut tut... http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk_politics/8447784.stm Points of note: Labour Party deputy leader Harriet Harman has been fined £350 after pleading guilty to driving without due care and attention. The Camberwell and Peckham MP, who was at a cabinet meeting in Downing Street at the time of the hearing, was also ordered to pay £75 costs and a £15 "victim surcharge". "£15 Victim surcharge" ffs! "she had been attempting to manoeuvre her Rover 75 out from between two parked vehicles when she reversed into one of them. Ms Harman, who is also House of Commons leader and equality minister, was using her mobile phone when she got into the car and throughout the low-speed incident, the court heard. lol - a Rover ffs?!?! "The court heard that Ms Harman already has six penalty points on her licence after being caught speeding in a 30mph zone, in 2007 and 2008. Motorists with 12 points on their licence face a ban. Ms Harman now has a total of nine." Walk that tightrope Harman! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
