The court heard there was a road traffic accident and it transpired the defendant’s insurance had expired on October 15.

She said that she forgot because of a family emergency.

A solicitor representing the defendant said her insurance expired on the date that her partner had a heart attack.

He added that she had to go to hospital and her attention was distracted.
