Tamara Beckwith-Veroni (pictured) was
fined £900 after she did not say who was behind the wheel of her
Porsche when it was snapped speeding
Television
celebrity Tamara Beckwith-Veroni was fined £900 yesterday for not
saying who was behind the wheel of her powerful white Porsche when it
was snapped speeding.
The
44 year-old, who married construction heir Giorgio Veroni in Venice in
2007 and has appeared on TV shows including Loose Women, Come Dine With
Me, Dancing on Ice and Four Rooms, insists she was not driving.
Beckwith-Veroni
did not appear at Lavender Hill Magistrates Court, but pleaded guilty
via a letter to failing to give police information relating to the
identification of the driver.
The
court heard the registered keeper of the 3.0 litre vehicle,
Beckwith-Veroni, was contacted by the police who wanted to know who was
driving it, but received no response.
No
details of where the original offence took place or the speed of the
Porsche were given, but the court was told Beckwith-Veroni does have
three points on her driver's licence for speeding.
In her letter, read out in court, the former It girl said: 'I wrote a letter on July 1 asking for further information.'
'I
was seven months pregnant, I was unclear who drove the car and a
girlfriend visiting me was adamant she was not driving in the area.
'I
find it hard to understand how I can be of more help. The car is mine
and as a law-abiding citizen I'm resigned to stepping up and taking
responsibility for my car.'
She added: 'I'm not a speedy driver, I'm a mother of three and continuously think of that when at the wheel.'
The
magistrates also endorsed Beckwith-Veroni's licence with six penalty
points and ordered her to pay £85 costs and a £90 victim surcharge.
