Fully agreed! I'm not afraid to stand up for England or Britain, but in this case, I say to my fellow subjects we're in the wrong. Rules need to be simple. The woman was a diplomats wife, she has diplomatic immunity end of story. If the US, or Britain started making exceptions on diplomatic immunity it would make no end of problems, countries that weren't made exceptions would consider it a diplomatic insult.
What on earth for? Supposing she got convicted? supposing she had to serve a prison sentence? What purpose would that serve? If she does ever drive in a LHD country in the future I very much doubt she'll make that mistake again. if she has any honour she needs to think about her family first. She needs to think about her husband. the enormous damage this has done to his career. The quicker this is forgotten about, the quicker her husband can try and salvage something.

This is the most fundamental diplomatic boilerplate. This has nothing to do with the UKs honor nor that of the woman. After all of the publicity surrounding this she would be an idiot to return to the UK. No way to get a fair trial.
The UK is who is acting like a special snowflake here.
