Let Women Drive a Little Over the Speed Limit
Briefly

Emma Watson has been banned from driving for six months after missing a court appearance related to a speeding ticket. She received the ticket for driving eight miles over the speed limit, which adds to her existing nine points on her license. Watson decided to pay the £1,044 fine instead of attending the brief court hearing. The incident has sparked frustration, highlighting perceived injustices regarding women’s rights and legal accountability in today's society. Many are angered by the ramifications of such relatively minor infractions against a backdrop of larger societal issues.
Watson reportedly got the ticket in July of last year after she was clocked driving eight miles over the speed limit. Just eight miles!
Watson has officially been banned from driving for six months after failing to show up in court for a speeding ticket issued in 2024.
Every day, our rights as women are taken away. In this economy? In this political climate?
She skipped the five-minute court hearing at the High Wycombe Magistrates' Court, instead opting to just pay the £1,044 ($1,400) fine.
