A single mother in the U.K. has received a nearly C$300 fine after she was caught by police last June eating one behind the wheel of her car, according to the Bournemouth Daily Echo. However, she defended her car was stationary at the time.
Elsa Harris was fined about C$200 on the spot and given the choice of taking a drivers' awareness course or three penalty points — but she opted to take the case to court instead.
She pled guilty in court, and received three penalty points as well as the bigger fine.
She told the Echo that she pled guilty on the advice of a lawyer friend, who told her she'd never win.
Police tried to be witty in their post offering an update on the case, saying the story might "ApPEEL to our followers."
However, Harris won't likely share the same sense of humour.
"It's the most expensive banana I've ever had in my life," she told ITV last year — but it got even pricier since then. Cont.
