It does seem to be a prophecy on this forum that anyone pro-Brexit and opposed to illegal immigration would get the cold shoulder from the Borg aka Civil Service. They will now use this non story to chip away at her reputation until she is gone. Sunak let Raab go too easily, so he can expect more. He needs to show more loyalty and solidarity with his cabinet.
No, scrap that, it's too late for the Tories to recover.

Is it right for a 'citizen' of this country to attempt, using a position of power, to avoid paying a speeding fine?

You sure she isn't a Nazi or maybe a racist? I am sure there must be signs.

We might need to call the archbishop; she might not even be a Christian.

Red Rum
I don't think it would be. Although under the circumstances of the offence in question, even if you don't have a position of power, it appears you are offered the choice of avoiding paying a fine by completing a course instead. The option is there to choose one or the other, as Braverman did after she evaluated and considered the implications of both choices.

I thought Speeding was an absolute offense and carried with it a minimum penalty of a £100 fine and 3 points on your licence no matter what. A speed awareness course isn't a means to get around the minimum fine / points |

A speed awareness course isn't a means to get around the minimum fine / points It is true if within a few MPH of the limit, you can take a speed awareness course if offered, I bet one or two of the near perfect posters here have done one. You pay for the course of course. |

colbops No idea, I'm a very slow driver  . I'm interpreting the words in the BBC report, as provided in the link attached to the opening post, as indicating it is true.
'The home secretary was caught speeding while attorney general last summer, and faced three points on her licence and a fine, or a course as part of a group'.

She did not want to go because she may have been recognised, she tried to get the civil service to organise a 'one to one', that is the problem. |
