She then failed to report the incident at a police station within the mandatory 24 hours.

Patrycja Kornelia Wilk was driving a 62-plate Peugeot 3008 on the A6003 Uppingham Road on November 2 last year when her car was involved in a collision with a 64-plate Corsa.

The 42-year-old motorist failed to exchange details with the Corsa driver at the scene of the accident, and then failed to report it at a police station within the required 24 hours.

Wilk, of Nene Crescent, Corby, appeared before magistrates on August 9 to admit the offence under section 70 of the Road Traffic Act 1998, which she had previously denied.

She was ordered to pay costs, fines and fees of £141 and given five points on her driving licence.
