Man drove at woman in a dispute over land

A man who drove at a woman in a dispute over land has been sentenced.

Daniel Hill was caught on CCTV driving his BMW towards a woman in her 70s in Badcock Road, Haslingfield, on 9 March last year.

The 43-year-old appeared to drive at speed towards the woman and then broke heavily, coming to an abrupt stop moments in front of her.

At Cambridge Magistrates’ Court yesterday (6 May), Hill, of Marham, King’s Lynn, was given nine points on his licence after being found guilty of driving without due care and attention. He must also pay a £660 fine.

PC Lazaro, from the South Cambs Neighbourhood Team, who investigated, said: “There has been an ongoing dispute over land in Haslingfield. Hill deliberately used his car in a threatening manner. His driving fell far below that of a reasonable and competent driver. It’s fortunate that the victim was not crashed into and injured as a result.”
