It was actually her brother who nominated the driver. It's possible her later actions were to protect him rather than to avoid the fine but she continued to plough on even when the nature of offence was clear to her - hence the conspiracy.
Her performance before the Appeal Court seems to have been toe curlingly embarrassing. Given the first jury contained at least 3 and possibly as many as 9 doubters there might just have been some grounds. Turning up in person, unprepared and arguing the facts rather than law or mis-direction by trial judge has me worried for her mental state. Lord Leveson's comments, although temperately phrased, were a pretty stinging rebuke.
