Emma Watson, famous for her role in Harry Potter, has been prohibited from driving for a period of 6 months.
In a recent turn of events, British actress Emma Watson has been disqualified from driving in the UK for six months and fined £1,044 due to a speeding violation. The incident occurred on July 31, 2024, when Watson was caught driving her Audi A3 at 38 mph in a 30 mph zone in Oxford, England.
This latest citation added three more points to Watson's driving record, pushing her total penalty points to 12 within three years. Under UK law, accumulating 12 or more points within a three-year period triggers an automatic six-month driving ban.
Prior to this latest citation, Watson already had nine points on her driving record, which were tied to offences in October 2023, November 2023, and January 2024. The specific details of these earlier offences, including their locations and the court hearings, have not been disclosed.
The sentencing for the most recent offence took place at High Wycombe Magistrates' Court, located about 30 miles (48km) northwest of London. However, Watson did not attend the hearing. Instead, she pleaded guilty via mail, and her lawyer confirmed that she was able to pay the fine.
The news of Watson's driving offence was reported by various media outlets, including The Mirror and the BBC. The specific details of the fines and penalties for the most recent citation are not provided in the given information.
Watson's driving ban is a significant setback for the Beauty and the Beast actress, who has been known for her busy lifestyle and frequent travel. Despite this, Watson has remained silent on the matter, and no further comments have been made regarding the incident or the impact it may have on her future driving privileges.
