Do you really think so? I think she'll be sitting there thinking 'even if they find me guilty they'll do fuck all' and when it turns up at court she'll be surprised how lenient they are and there'll be no deterrent effect at all.
update to this - Court date booked 18/02/14 - I'm a Witness and the police and CJS are following up. will update once trial is complete - took a while but glad it's got to court
Ok update to this: she got 1 year ban to run on top of her already 1 year disqualification, 5 penalty points to be added once she gets licence back and £1300 in fine and costs - they were pretty hardcore on her given some of the sentences out there.
I got £300 compo to cover the bits and bobs that I had to fix at the time - so took a while but good result in the end and as long as your witness statement and your statement are good the CPS do like to push it to court.
