A police officer recognised her and, believing she was disqualified, checked CCTV footage – which was played in court and released by Northamptonshire Police – which showed her exiting the vehicle and entering the store.
She held an expired licence after a period of disqualification and an application had been made for her licence to be renewed but it had been withdrawn. Prosecutor Cheryl Burridge told the court her record has a ‘medical stop’ on it.
Price had denied driving without insurance and driving otherwise than in accordance with a licence but was convicted. She was sentenced to a total of eight penalty points – taking her current tally to 11 points and leaving her just short of a ban. The court heard that, despite avoiding a disqualification by magistrates, Price still is not currently allowed to drive.
She was ordered to pay a fine of £880, prosecution costs of £620 and a surcharge to fund victim services of £352.
