Andrew Peters, 63, was one of many people who had to process the news of the Queen's passing. Fifteen minutes after the announcement, he was caught driving 68 mph in a 60 mph zone. Unfortunately, Peters already had nine points on his license prior to the incident which meant that reaching twelve would result in a driving ban.
When brought before Worcester Court, Peters explained that hearing the news of the Queen's death on his car radio had left him in a state of distress and distraction which had caused him to miss the speed limit sign. He further added that being born in the 1960s meant that the Queen had been a part of his life.
Peters argued that the driving ban would make his life difficult and have a financial impact on his job as a consultant, where he earns £60,000 per year. However, the magistrates did not find evidence of exceptional hardship in his case. As a result, Peters was fined £384 and will not be able to drive for the next six months.
The announcement of the Queen's death was a shock to many people. It was a reminder that life is fragile and unpredictable. Even in the midst of tragedy, it is important to remember to stay within the law and be mindful of other people.
