I suspect she gets it from her mother...The Latin Times has amazingly detailed list:I seem to recall her husband serving a drink drive ban some time back not to mention the antics of her grandfather. A danger to all of us that lot.
TBF, and apart from the level of fines (and the degree of speeding, to some extent), that doesn't look massively different from my own driving record.I suspect she gets it from her mother...The Latin Times has amazingly detailed list:
1972 (Age 22): Written Warning
Princess Anne was caught speeding on the M1 in November 1972. The Thames Valley Police decided not to prosecute, instead opting to let the Princess Royal off with a written warning.
1977 (Age 26): Fine Of £40
Unfortunately for the free-spirited young royal, she was caught once again speeding on the previously mentioned road in January almost five years later. She hit over 90mph in a 70mph zone, which cost her a fine of £40 at the Alfreton Magistrates in Derbyshire.
1990 (Age 40): Fine Of £150 And Driving Ban For 1 Month
Things escalated in 1990 when the then 40-year-old royal had once again been caught speeding. The Princess Royal pled guilty to two speeding offences in a Stow-on-the-Wold Magistrates court in Gloucestershire. Not only was she fined £150, but the royal also was banned from driving for almost a month. At that time, she claimed that she was “late for an engagement.”
2000 (Age 50): Fine Of £400, £30 For Cost And Five Points On Her License
The temporary ban had not seen the last of Anne’s mishaps with driving. In 2000, she was fined for doing 93mph on a 70mph dual carriageway — all while a police car was tailing her. The princess explained that she thought that the police car was an escort for her as she was heading to an engagement at that time. She was fined £400, ordered to pay £30 for costs and was marked five points on her license after pleading guilty.
The excuses too?TBF, and apart from the level of fines (and the degree of speeding, to some extent), that doesn't look massively different from my own driving record.
My god, that's profound!Distraction is the enemy of the safe driver ..
There is no need to be like that, I am just writing about my experiences!My god, that's profound!
You write away. If I happen to have led such a sheltered life that such banalities are profound to me, then that's my problem.There is no need to be like that, I am just writing about my experiences!
Florian Pratt, 70 MPH, wrong side of road, jailed for 16 months Horror moment biker thrown into air and suffers life changing injuries in crash

"Thankfully, the motorcyclist was wearing a full leather, air bag suit which activated and inflated as he was propelled off his bike. Without it, in a collision at this speed, he would most likely have died.”
Not intentional. There's no way he had time to think that through. He's hauled on the front brake out of sheer terror and got lucky (for a certain value of "lucky").Air bag suit? Only slightly heard of them, if it helped I bet their sales are up now.
The biker seemed to be doing a stoppie as the collision was imminent, if it was intentional it probably saved his legs from getting tangled in his handlebars.
Pretty nightmare accident, amazing the biker survived.
You might be surprised how many micro moments there are in an accident scenario in which you can take decisions. I hit a car head on on my motorbike (closing speed only 50 - 60mph though) and I was able to take a decision which may well have saved me.Not intentional.

The car driver could have run off the right side but he shouldn't have been there in the first place, of course. Horrible, horrible, crash.You might be surprised how many micro moments there are in an accident scenario in which you can take decisions.

Although neither of them seem to have had the time or possibility to swerve for the side of the road which might have avoided the initial crash, for another. The biker probably couldn't have made such a change in direction but the car might have.
It definitely wasn't intentional. He grabbed a handful of brake, and it was sheer luck that he didn't do it a fraction of a second sooner, or things would have been a lot worse for him.The biker seemed to be doing a stoppie as the collision was imminent, if it was intentional it probably saved his legs from getting tangled in his handlebars.
Do a hit and run and leave someone to die?. That’ll be nine points and a fine of £115.
Woman, 30, left the scene after hitting pedestrian who later died
The A39 was closed for several hours while police investigated the hit and runwww.cornwalllive.com
There's not enough detail in that report, it happened in the 'early hours' near a Asda store on a 'A' road, no mention of what the speed limit was, although the photo shows 'national speed limit' signs & no pedestrian walkways, and there's no suggestion the driver was speeding.
It's possible the victim was pissed, staggered out onto a busy/fast road, got clipped by the car, causing enough damage for them to die later, but perhaps not enough of an impact to alert the driver they had hit a person, rather than a fox or dog.
The only charges were failing to stop and failing to report the incident, none for dangerous driving or causing death by dangerous driving.
Yet many of the comments under the article are calling it 'manslaughter', despite nothing suggesting it was.
Hit and run mum did not stop because she was ‘petrified’
Cameron Grieve died in hospital a month after he was hitwww.cornwalllive.com
Testified that she could only see 'two feet' in front in fog but drove at 40mph. All a bit of a shitshow.
She said she thought she’d hit an animal and was too frightened to get out and look because of the foggy and pitch black conditions.

It was an accident, leaving him to die wasn’t.With no evidence suggesting otherwise, it can only be put down as a sad accident.

He was there until someone found him in the morning. Maybe if she had stopped he would have recovered, but I guess she had to get calpol for her kid with a cold...That implies he died at the scene, he didn't, he was making a recovery in hospital, he died a month later from a heart attack caused by an infection, not the injuries caused by the accident.

Not really sure why you’re defending her.
