Overview

• High Wycombe Magistrates’ Court fined Emma Watson £1,044 and imposed a six-month ban after her latest offence pushed her licence to 12 penalty points.
• Watson was caught driving at 38 mph in a 30 mph zone in Oxford last July and did not attend the July 16 hearing.
• Zoë Wanamaker received an identical fine and disqualification at the same court session for a separate speeding incident.
• Under the UK totting-up system, accumulating 12 points within three years triggers an automatic driving disqualification.
• Watson’s lawyer confirmed she can pay the fine as she continues her master’s studies in creative writing at the University of Oxford.
