La Plante, who created the hit robbery TV series Widows in the 1980s and brought Prime Suspect to the screen in 1991, pleaded guilty on Monday to breaking the 20mph speed limit five times near her home in Kingston-upon-Thames between November 2025 and April this year.
Lynda La Plante, the bestselling crime author, has been disqualified from driving after she tearfully told a court that such a ban would end her career.

Back Truth Details 644 replies Avatar Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump The People of Aberdeen, in Scotland, are dancing in the streets because the new Prime Minister, Andy Burnham, has stated that he will be opening up, all the way, the invaluable North Sea Oil! It is one of the Greatest Sources of quality Oil on Earth, has hundreds of years of Capacity left, with much not even found yet, and will make the United Kingdom, from a Poverty Stricken Disaster, to one of the Richest Countries anywhere in the World! Britain pays Norway Billions of Dollars a year to buy its Oil, which they get from a less valuable part of the North Sea — How ridiculous is that! Also, word is that the UK is going to move the old and horrible looking windmills, which loom over and destroy the City of Aberdeen. That will be a big day for the Country, and will be very much appreciated by everybody. Such great potential in the UK, but it all starts with OPENING NORTH SEA OIL. WE LOVE YOU SCOTLAND! President DONALD J. TRUMP
