The court's decision factored in Stanley's guilty plea, leading to her driving record being endorsed with three points but no license suspension.

The notification of Stanley's speeding conviction was sent to the DVLA, with the expectation of payment by October 15, 2024.

An order for collection of the fine was also made.
