Woman caught driving unlicensed after fleeing from ex
A HASTY decision to flee an altercation in an unregistered car while unlicensed saw a Warwick single mum before the Warwick Magistrates Court.
The 24-year-old woman said she was threatened by her ex-partner and so fled the scene.
Magistrate Bevan Manthey took the unique circumstances into account during sentencing.
The woman, who cannot be named for legal reasons, received a two-year probation order with a conviction recorded, and was disqualified from driving for two years due to extensive criminal and traffic history.
Mr Manthey noted that there were underlying issues that needed to be addressed and urged her to do so.
