Morton went before a jury on a charge of endangering her rival's life, but was found guilty of a lesser charge of driving dangerously and hitting Ms Smith.Sheriff Jennifer Bain KC said: "You behaved in an aggressive manner towards Danielle Smith instead of removing yourself from the situation.

The location was a road where children were being collected from school, straight after school. There was a reasonable amount of traffic and people walking children home from school."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.Jurors were told the two mothers had been involved in a long-running feud and had clashed violently in Green Park, Kinross, a short time earlier on the same date.
