Is it an offence to drive on the wrong side of the road in America?

@Northwest Oh yes, I know that. The question for your country to ask, is whether that right of immunity conferred in the 18C suits the 21C nation and world. It might [i]within[/i] the USA but here it concerned an incident in a foreign country.

@ArishMell Here's another shocker for you: this law form the basis of the 1961 Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations, which is adhered to by just about all UN members. And there's a reason for that.

@Northwest Well, it does not "shock" me. I am sure the law was created for the best or reasons but it can and evidently does create very difficult problems.

@TexChik that’s what I imagine too. Seems it’s okay for an American woman to do that in the UK and their justice system says it inappropriate to send her here to face justice.

@Gemini43 was she a socialist?

@TexChik seems she had friends in high places. Hardly a socialist I imagine. She claimed diplomatic immunity!
