Overview

• Watson skipped the July 16 hearing at High Wycombe magistrates court, sending her lawyer to accept the sanctions.
• Three points from a speed-camera capture of 38 mph in a 30 mph Oxford zone on July 31, 2024 pushed her licence to the 12-point suspension threshold.
• Her previous nine points derived from three speeding infractions recorded between October 2023 and January 2024.
• The court set a 28-day deadline for the £1,044 fine, which Watson’s legal team says she will settle despite her lack of regular income as an Oxford student.
• Advocates note the case underscores the consistent enforcement of UK road-safety laws regardless of a driver’s profile.
