Mum narrowly missed striking women with car outside Dunfermline primary school

The driving of a mother dropping off her child at a Dunfermline school caused concern for pedestrians when she mounted the pavement, a court has heard.

Hina Hayee, 29, of Tarmachan Road, Dunfermline, admitted that on January 31 last year at Carnegie Primary School, Pittsburg Road, she drove a car, mounted a pavement and missed striking three women.

At Dunfermline Sheriff Court on Monday, depute fiscal Sam Johnson said the incident occurred about 8.50am and one of the people standing on the pavement outside the school was pregnant at the time.

The matter was reported to the police and Hayee told officers: “I think I didn’t do it”.

Hayee appeared in the dock with a translator and the court was told that she was a full-time housewife whose husband is a GP working in Edinburgh.

Sheriff Craig McSherry imposed a £350 fine and three penalty points.
