Overview

• Judy Keelan, 42, pursued a motorist for about four minutes after her wing mirror was clipped, with her teenage daughter recording and her son also in the car.
• Footage released by the CPS and shown in court captured her swerving through traffic, mounting a grass verge, circling a roundabout and nearly hitting another vehicle at inappropriate speed.
• She pleaded guilty at Medway Magistrates’ Court and received a one-year driving ban plus a 12-month community order with 100 hours of unpaid work and 15 rehabilitation sessions, along with a £114 surcharge and £85 costs.
• The court heard the initial contact only pushed back her mirror, and police took no further action against the other driver after speaking with him.
• Magistrates criticized her for having children in the vehicle during the chase, and she admitted in interview she was not wearing a seatbelt, while also claiming the other driver caught her daughter’s hair and had previously taken her car.
