road.

Tamara Smith, of Aunt Penny's Lane, St. George's, was fined $400 for speeding at 65 kph on North Shore Road in Hamilton Parish.

She pleaded guilty to the charges but begged Magistrate Edward King to give her a break.

Smith claimed that she had stomach problems and was not going to use the bathroom in the trees.

"There are all those cats in the trees and I have been bitten by a cat before,'' Smith said.

And she added that everyone around her was speeding and everyone should have received a ticket.

"I will bring you coffee, tea or fishcakes if you let me off just this one time,'' Smith said.

"I will come clean your chambers every day.

"I'm sure people were lenient with you when you were younger.'' But Mr. King admitted to having committed only one offence -- speeding at 38 mph in 1974.

"I have never met anyone in my life like her,'' he said.

Smith could have been taken off the road for 12 months.
