Emma Watson loses right to drive for six months after a fourth traffic infraction

Emma Watson, 35, will not be able to drive for the next six months. The British actress, known worldwide for playing Hermione Granger in the “Harry Potter” saga, was suspended after accumulating four speeding traffic violations in less than two years.

The decision was made on Tuesday (16) by the Court of Magistrates of High Wycombe, England, where she admitted the latest offense committed in March. The information is from People.

The most recent episode came when Watson drove an Audi S3 – model valued at about $ 200,000 – near Oxford University, where he is currently attending a doctorate. The actress was caught at 61 km/h in a stretch with a limit of 48 km/h. The penalty also included three additional points in the driver’s license, adding to the nine already accumulated for previous violations registered in October and November 2023, in addition to January this year.

The total fine applied to the actress sums £ 1,044 (about $ 7,000), which covers £ 660 for the infraction, £ 264 of surcharge and £ 120 of court costs. She will have 28 days to pay off the debt.

Although it is far from screens in recent years, Watson has taken up space in the British press for situations involving his car. In February 2023, she was fined after parking irregularly in Stratford-Upon-Avon, blocking another vehicle for more than three hours. At the time, he tried to prevent the car’s tow, unsuccessfully, and ended up paying a fine of $ 1,280.

Far from the spotlight of Hollywood, Watson has been dedicated to academic life. In Oxford, he was seen actively participating in the university’s female rowing team as a Timoneira. She dates the Kieran Brown colleague, who recently completed her doctorate. The actress is also recognized for her feminist activism and has acted as UN Women’s ambassador.
