Traffic fine 1943

We've inherited so many interesting documents that Mom (and her parents) kept over the decades. This traffic fine issued in 1943 is a wonderful example. It's still in pounds-shillings-pence: this is for seven and six (7 shillings and 6 pence)!

Mom was born in July 1929, so she would have been fourteen-and-a-half when this was issued. What on earth was she doing to get a traffic fine?

These photos are of my mother that I think were taken probably around this time. Maybe she was driving her father's car too fast ...? We'll never know.
