Overview

• Speaking on Jay Shetty’s On Purpose podcast, Watson gave her first detailed comments on the sanction and the attention it drew.
• She said productions would not insure her to drive to set, which left her with little experience before she began driving regularly as an Oxford student.
• Watson said the story became “international, worldwide news” and that she felt “my shame is everywhere.”
• She said she had started cycling before the ban and called the habit “particularly fortuitous” during her disqualification.
• High Wycombe Magistrates’ Court imposed a six-month ban and £1,044 in fines after she was recorded at 38mph in a 30mph Oxford zone, with nine prior points, and she was represented by a lawyer who entered a guilty plea.
