Model spared fine and points over speeding

Model and actor Vivienne Connolly was spared a fine and the possibility of four penalty points on her licence when she appeared in court for speeding.

Ms Connolly faced a summons issued against her for driving in excess of the 50km/h speed limit in a built-up area at Conyngham Rd, Dublin, on Sept 17 last year.

The mother of two had to come to court as a result of the non-payment of an €80 fixed charge notice, which also results in two penalty points being recorded.
