Kristi Morton, 31, reversed into Danielle Smith and knocked her down after a feud between the mothers turned to violence outside a school.
A woman who drove into a mother walking with children after a school gate punch-up has been tagged and banned from driving.
Morton, Dalwhamie Street, Kinross, stormed out of court after being placed on a curfew for three months and banned from driving for 12 months. The jury heard how Ms Smith was flattened when she was struck with the open passenger door of the Audi being driven by Morton on 24 August 2022. Morton said that she was the one who was assaulted and she told jurors she was left with her face "gushing with blood." The jury found the allegation that Morton had assaulted Ms Smith at this location not proven.
Ms Smith said she and her friend and the children walked on, but then heard "a loud revving sound. I'm guessing I was hit by the car door because it totally wiped me out," she told the jury. "It struck my lower back and put me completely to the floor." In her evidence, Morton claimed Ms Smith had opened the car door as they drove past and tried to get inside and punch her. Morton was charged by police with assaulting Ms Smith to her injury, permanent disfigurement and to the danger of her life, but the jury found that charge not proven.
