Magistrates’ Court Hands Down 28-Day Ban and £750 Fine
Atkinson faced Guildford Magistrates’ Court on December 16. He was banned from driving for 28 days. On top of that, he was slapped with a £385 fine, a £154 victim surcharge, and £210 in costs.

“Sussex Police expects the highest personal and professional standards of anyone who works for us,” said Chief Superintendent Lisa Bell. “Our Professional Standards Department will now consider disciplinary action following the court’s result.”
This case sends a clear message: nobody, not even a copper, is above the law when it comes to road safety.
