Johnny Scott, a 26-year-old from Hornchurch, caused significant damage exceeding £24,000 after crashing his VW Polo into the Buckingham Palace gates on March 9, 2024.
Prosecutor Laila Cunningham noted Scott appeared dazed post-crash, expressing a need to rectify the situation, which suggests he acknowledged the seriousness of his actions.
District Judge Annabel Pilling indicated Scott might avoid prison time, pointing out that a community sentence could be more suitable due to his early guilty plea.
No royal family members were present in Buckingham Palace at the time of the incident, as confirmed by a palace spokesperson following the crash.
