Kathleen Mary Bennett faced Charters Towers Magistrates Court on Monday afternoon charged with one count of failing to comply with a court order on a restricted licence. She pleaded guilty to the charge as Magistrate Peter Smid read the facts of her case. The court heard that on January 7, police intercepted Bennett’s car on Gill Street where she informed them she was on her way home from work. Conditions of Bennett’s work licence, which she obtained through the same court last year, only allow her to travel to and from her place of employment. Police said she was charged due to her travel being deemed not directly connected to earning a livelihood. Magistrate Smid informed Bennett’s duty lawyer Rebecca Hudson, of Lee, Turnbull and Co. Solicitors, he had no other choice but to suspend and fine her as a result of her actions. Bennett was fined $300 and suspended from driving for three months with convictions being recorded.
