Crime Writer in Court Over Speeding | London News

Crime writer Lynda La Plante, creator of Prime Suspect and 83, is facing court over three speeding tickets in a 20mph zone near her West London home—clocking 24, 26, and 27 mph. She claims the signage is confusing and cameras are too close, with road markings often missing. The case highlights her frustration with inaccessible legal aid, including a broken government link. If convicted on all charges, she could face 12 penalty points and a six-month driving ban. Set to appear in fast-track court next month, this is a courtroom twist for a woman who’s spent decades writing about justice.
