• High Wycombe Magistrates’ Court delivered six-month driving bans to Emma Watson and Zoë Wanamaker on July 16 after each reached the 12-point limit under Britain’s totting-up system.
• The court also imposed £1,044 fines on both women as stipulated by fixed penalties for their offences.
• Watson, who was not present, was represented by Mark Haslam following her July 31, 2024 incident in Oxford driving 38 mph in a 30 mph zone.
• Wanamaker’s ban resulted from a separate August 2024 motorway speeding offence where she was clocked at 46 mph in a 40 mph zone and defended by Duncan Jones.
• These concurrent sentences reaffirm that road-safety laws apply uniformly to all drivers regardless of celebrity status.
