The court heard from the prosecutor that the 66-year-old had failed to give information relating to the driver of a Jeep, who was alleged to have been guilty of an offence, to police in Devon on February 27.

Milton, of Manor Close, Almeley, was fined £300 and received six penalty points for the offence.

No totting disqualification was made as, magistrates said, a roads ban would cause exceptional hardship as she is the carer of a frail elderly relative and it would affect her work for the community.
