"Ban likely" for 10mph on the M32
Discussion
Carried in many papers, the Daily Mail (I know, I know) has the most comprehensive article.
How best to deal with her I'm not sure. I do know I wouldn't want to share a road with her

Simple
Take her off the roads.
If someone is unable to pass the basic criteria of the simple driving test that we have all done at one time or another to gain our licenses, they should not be allowed said license.
Its very sad that she might lose mobility, but this should not be allowed to affect other road users.
My grandad was recently taken off the road due to the fact he is starting to suffer from signs of dementia. In actual fact his driving (although old person "rover" slow
) was not bad, but the potential risk arising from him possibly forgetting where he would have been going was simply too great. This woman blaitently does not have even basic vehicle control which in my mind is far worse.

And do you think that when she gets behind the wheel after her ban she is going to miraculously be less nervous? She should have been offered a driver improvement scheme in lieu of prosecution, IMO.But yes, in the more realistic scenario of a ban that doesn't extend until her expiration, there needs to be something done by this woman before she causes someone else to suffer on the road.
10MPH on the motorway is beyond careless and well into dangerous territory, in my opinion.

Some people are not destined to be on the roads. That's just the way it is.

True, although I sense a slight whiff of hypocrisy among some members of sites such as this where the "basic standards" have seemingly been drowned in a pool of testosterone.Take her off the roads.

How the hell did she pass her test, it's a fail for driving too slowly as well as too fast 
Or is she just scared of motorways?
Many test circuits don't include NSL single or dual carriageways so she may not have been tested at speeds over 40mph. Certainly if she took her test locally she may have been entirely in 30-40mph zones. Or is she just scared of motorways?
Perhaps this is where Pass Plus should be compulsory and could have helped her at an earlier stage - or as I've said before, maybe she just isn't destined to drive...
