I told her her to say she needs the car for shopping, as she does. But when they asked her if she could manage without a car she said she could still get to the shops. Yes, by bus. Nuts. So they had easy meat this day.

She should have said something like; I need the car for my charity work taking disabled orphans on outings and the homeless to the shops. My niece is wheelchair bound and lives on her own in the country. I am the only way she can have transport.

So you think that driving at 62 in a 30 because it was dark, don't know the road, drIver bit confused is mitigation for what in the eyes of the law is an accident waiting to happen? Has it occured to you that perhaps your mother was at fault?

Indeed. Best thing all round is for her to sit her driving test again.

I did not say that. Getting banned for 56 days for a first offence seems excessive to me. Average for that speed seem to be a few day's ban. Has it occurred to you that what occurs to you has already been though of and dismissed with nanoseconds by someone with more intelligence?
