I don't suppose she considered the consequences if she had got away with it. For the rest of her "life" she would have had to remember which organisations she was dead for, and which it was safe to remain alive. For all motoring related matters she would have had to double up as her daughter. Whenever anyone asked her to fill in a form she would have had to stop and think carefully which she was. Easier in many ways to become fully dead and simply reappear with a new identity.

Or better still the same identity, alleging that a miracle has taken place. There might be a career in that.

The bit that really got me was the fact that, in "mitigation", her brief said that she had been driving for some time without any problem. This of course, being on a provisional license! ............. Oh thats OK then!

It's a bit like excusing a fatal crash by saying that the vast majority of the journey was safe and the only bad bit was at the end. Or something like that.

.............and she does not even look drop dead gorgeous!

Driving with a provisional licence for years. Why did she not take a test then?

Personally I think she got off very lightly for years of driving without a licence or insurance.

She also lied to the Police and got caught out. She admitted to trying to pervert to course of justice and the sentence is usually a custodial one, so she definitely got of lightly with a six month jail sentence, suspended for 12 months.

Surprisingly there does not seem to be any driving ban or obligation to pass a driving test.

Why? She IS Welsh!

Apologies - got fed up with the Welsh in the 1970s when they continually stuffed us at rugby! Loved those wonderful Welsh players - Edwards, John, Gerald Davies, JPR, John Dawes, Merve the Swerve and many others - but could not stand the gloating supporters!!
