Kelly said to her: “That’s Jackie”.

Gilmore made a U-turn and accelerated in a northerly direction along Molesworth St at speed, the court heard.

Gilmore narrowly escaped jail time, the court heard.

Gilmore approached the rear of Fabre’s car and made contact, the court heard.

Kelly and Fabre stopped the vehicle, exited, and Gilmore reversed then accelerated into the rear of Fabre’s car again, causing extensive damage, facts state.

Fabre’s car then rolled forward into a parked car on Molesworth St.

Gilmore must also complete 200 hours of community service work.

Gilmore then accelerated harshly, manoeuvring around Fabre’s car and proceeding towards her.

Kelly managed to push the new lover out of the path of the oncoming vehicle.

Gilmore failed to stop and provide her new details to Fabre or Kelly, and left the scene.

Documents tendered to the court stated Gilmore went and reported Kelly breaching bail to Lismore police, claiming he had hit her and that she wished to not make a report.

Gilmore must also complete 200 hours of community service work.
