The whole experience has been horrendous, she later confides. To the court and in a statement to the press outside court, and fighting back tears, she said she was "truly sorry". She wants to educate people and is determined in her mission because it is too important, even more so now. What happened has made her more aware and how easy it is to do. The offences will not stop her talking about the issue of speeding.

"I have reflected on the harm that is caused by speeding drivers and I will be doing all I can - both personally and professionally - to help make Nottinghamshire roads safer." I assure all I have taken stock of my situation and this will not happen again. "This background went into the fact I was speeding," she adds. "Indeed one of my children was sectioned last weekend after an acute event," she says. Both by necessity remain in full-time residential care. Today she remains a loving mother to two children with complex special needs. At the time of the offences she had been driving an old Lexus and her "old banger", a 22-year-old Mercedes. She is frank when she admits, "I messed up", but, at the same time, she prides herself in being an open book, to take on board what has been said, and how people describe her as 'genuine' and 'authentic'. I support and respect the need for speed limits, and that is why, having been alerted to these breaches, I pleaded guilty at the earliest opportunity." "As commissioner, I am indeed proud that the Nottinghamshire Police system works so efficiently to catch those who speed even when I am the recipient of their good work. This explains why one of the speeding offences was clocked at 9.30pm and I had worked until that time and had just left my office for my journey home.

The tickets stacked up to five as the mail went unchecked for a time, Mrs Henry explained. The speeding tickets went to Mrs Henry's flat in London, a home she shares with her husband, the Conservative Broxtowe MP Darren Henry, who was hybrid working at the time of the pandemic. All the time Mrs Henry, who had a clean driving licence from the age of 18, continued working. She was seeking to arrange long-term accommodation for her child after the section, under the Mental Health Act, was lifted. I was regularly travelling to and from the hospital and I was under very significant pressure."
Going in-depth into what was happening at the time, she says tearfully: "At the time one of my children had tried to take their own life and had been sectioned in hospital. She was elected by the people and says she has a job to do, adding: "I love my job. While some residents may have called for her resignation over what happened, she is resolute she will not resign.

The 52-year-old, from Giltbrook, has spoken exclusively to Nottinghamshire Live - not to evoke any sympathy - but in an emotional bid to put into context the terrible and traumatic feelings she had been coping with, and still endures, as she supports her two children as a devoted mum. Crime boss Caroline Henry has laid bare the intense personal pain she was going through when she was clocked five times for speeding.
