but how do we know ITV didn't just bung her a load of dosh on the sly and lie about it?
Are you suggesting we cannot trust our press? How very dare you.

define "Paid"
Free weekend in a nice hotel in London? A meal for you and your family? Maybe a show? A ride in an AL taxi to run a few of the tax evading suicidal lycra louts with headphones off the road?
Maybe no money changed hands, but she sure as hell isn't doing it for free!
Which quite clearly implies that motoring offences are criminal offences.
Or it implies that they are not, but most people think they are.
Seems like a complex area:
For the purposes of supplying a record of criminal convictions to people such as prospective employers this is carried out via the Criminal Records Bureau. Their own definition of "criminal record" is the same as that used on the Police National Computer (PNC). An offence only appears on PNC if it is a recordable offence as defined by the National Police Records (Recordable Offences) Regulations 2000. This is further reinforced by the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974, which states that (except for certain excluded purposes) convictions become "spent" after a certain amount of time and so do not appear on a "criminal record" generated by the CRB (but will appear on PNC).So, whether you have a "criminal record" in the sense of someone performing a CRB check on you depends on what you were convicted for (is it a recordable offence?) and how long ago it was (is it spent?).
And, for info, driving without insurance is a criminal offence (s. 143 of the Road Traffic Act 1988) but is not a recordable offence so it doesn't generate a PNC/CRB criminal record.
Note that some offences may appear on PNC if you were convicted of a recordable offence in the same proceedings. So, if you were convicted of drink driving (a recordable offence) and driving without insurance (a non-recordable offence) both would be recorded: Reg 3(3) of the National Police Records (Recordable Offences) Regulations 2000.
I believe failure to stop after an accident is a recordable offence for the purposes of criminal records. Also, the seven points might be very significant if she has had her licence for less than two years, it would mean a licence revoke and start again from applying for a provisional.
no way! Emma way!
Just been having a look back through the @mentions on the @emmaway20 account...
Several mentions are very much in the pro-hate-cyclists camp:
🙁 RT @docfreuduk: I fully support @emmaway20 #bloodycyclists are a nuisance, a danger unto themselves and others.
🙁 RT @RobertH1946: @EmmaWay20 Cyclists are jay-walkers!
🙁 RT @PatrickSkehan: @EmmaWay20 You legend! Hahaha you'll get another job soon!
🙁 RT @cam169677: Ok @EmmaWay20 was silly for not stopping, but c'mon she was bang on with sentiment towards arrogant cyclists on roads.
But most are against. Some real hate out there. Really quite disheartening.
But the worst thing are the misoginistic comments - "bitch", "cow", etc. I'm not going to print those here...
🙁

Same old same old. Hiding behind their internet accounts. Not worth getting involved imo.
Still now you've made the nationals! Unknown mysterious Twitter account hijacker!
Never sure if these people mean the comments or not, really not nice if it is meant though.
I think most celebs or people in the news on Twitter get this treatment, just have to block it out.
Any of the video's on this link any use - more aimed at cyclists looking after themselves in the Fair City.
If it is still relevent motoring offences are criminal not civil. The empolyment question above is a classic illustration of the "exception that proves the rule".. Many motoring offences are not recordable offences so do not appear on your criminal reccord.
