10mph is dangerously slow on a motorway considering the traffic was flowing freely, no wonder she was banned for 7 days! And weaving in and out of the hard shoulder!!

one LUCKY woman... to be alive

She has a fear of driving?!!! She shouldn't be on the damn road then, motorway or not. It's people like her that kill off innocent people. What a joke.

Ban the silly woman for life!!! Sorry this is just ridiculous!!!

I bet she pays a lot less on her insurance than most of us younger drivers, because she's statistically a "safer driver"

as usual, pistonheads is hours behind.

Very annoying that the ban is so short, when her actions could have had major concequences. It's fortunate that these days, hardly anyone drives in the inside lane. (another annoying thing)

Apparently she has a fear of motorways, which is great. She won't be going on one on her retest so no doubt get her licence back without a problem, and probably end up causing a crash

Wow im quite amazed with this statement

this case sends out a very strange message to drivers. Mrs Cole was not breaking the speed limit or endangering anyone with her actions, yet she received a seven day ban, when we commonly see drivers caught travelling at 80 or 90mph get away with a fine and three points. While it is not common to encounter someone travelling at 10mph on a motorway, a competent driver should always be looking well ahead and predicting when they need to overtake a slower vehicle.

That quote from Brake is unbelievable. How can these people be so adamant that speed is the only cause of accidents and deaths on our roads when stupidity of this magnitude is presented to them??!! This woman should be banned for life.

If you need to drive at 10 mph on a motor way you need to be banned for life as it's obvious that you aren't capable of driving. At least it wasn't one of those electric buggies
