A woman who drifted into an oncoming vehicle on Stanford Road has admitted driving without due care and attention.

Penelope Eastman, 61, of Molesey Road in Hersham, Surrey, was driving her Volkswagen Golf towards Faringdon on May 19 when the incident happened.

Both cars were written off.

Eastman, who previously had a clean record, said: “I can only imagine I did lose attention and therefore did drift across the road.

“I am very sorry for having caused this.”

She was given six points on her licence and fined £200 at Oxford Magistrates’ Court yesterday.
