Har-person finds out women drivers are treated the same as men
 
Here is one motorist I'm sure everyone will be more than happy got done.

Quote:

Labour Party deputy leader Harriet Harman has been fined £350 after pleading guilty to driving without due care and attention.
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.
Hopefully every Police officer within 250 miles of wherever she is calling home these days is plotted up with a speedgun around every corner.

Swings and roundabouts. I'd imagine it was part of a plea-deal.

A £350 fine and 3 points is not normally handed out for a bump during a "parking manoeuvre"

No worries, she will claim it on her expenses.

Indeed.

I'd be willing to bet if it was a normal person they'd have got off with it.

A low speed bump that caused no damage to either vehicle, you don't see too many people ending up in court over them.
