The US spy’s wife who fled Britain after a crash that killed Harry Dunn was fined in America for poor driving.

Anne Sacoolas was charged with "failure to pay full time and attention".

She allegedly knocked Harry, 19, off his bike near an airbase where her husband worked, but claimed diplomatic immunity.

The tragic teenager's parents have now told how they want to speak to the American spy’s wife accused of ­knocking him over, as it was revealed she had a US driving conviction.

Anne Sacoolas, 42, was fined £200 for being distracted behind the wheel near her home in Virginia in November 2006.

The charge “failure to pay full time and attention” usually relates to drivers caught making calls at the wheel or traffic lane discipline.

Sacoolas was tonight named as the woman who allegedly knocked Harry, 19, off his motorbike. There were claims she had driven down the wrong side of the road after leaving an RAF base on August 27.

The mum-of-three later fled Britain claiming diplomatic ­immunity. Harry’s mum Charlotte Charles said: “She’s got to be suffering as well, she’s a mum. Without knowing who this person is properly, we can’t begin to try to start our grieving process.

“If we have to, we will go to ­Washington. We just want to sit and talk with her. We don’t ­understand how you can just get on a plane and leave behind the devastation she has without even speaking to us or facing us, or an apology of any kind.”

Sacoolas was said to have just left RAF Croughton in Northamptonshire when she allegedly hit Harry. Her husband Jonathan worked at the base, used by US intelligence personnel.

The couple’s children had been attending the £24,500-a-year private Winchester House school in nearby Brackley, where Harry’s dad Tim worked as head of maintenance.

Boris Johnson today vowed to contact Donald Trump if the US does not revoke Sacoolas’s diplomatic ­immunity. He said he would be making contact with the US ambassador and hoped the matter would be “resolved”.

But the PM, who named Sacoolas in a TV interview, added: “If we can’t, then of course I will be raising it personally with the White House.”

The US embassy in London said last night: “We will not comment on the driver’s identity.” It also said requests for diplomatic ­immunity to be revoked receive “attention at senior levels” but added: “Immunity is rarely waived.”

A British former intelligence officer said: “The Americans have behaved very badly over this and many believe they have abused diplomatic immunity.

“It is incredibly arrogant to expect Britain to put up with this kind of ­behaviour. If the reverse happened in America there would be a public outcry.”
