Diplomatic Immunity is conferred by the host government. And it has to be recorded. It was not in this case, therefore she didn't have it.

She did have Diplomatic Immunity either directly or via the Husband . Another example of how little numbnuts knows .

The suspect in the case, Anne Sacoolas, 42, is the wife of an American diplomat who worked at a Royal Air Force base that hosts a United States Air Force communication station. As such, she was entitled to immunity under a 1995 treaty between Britain and the United States, Britain’s foreign secretary, Dominic Raab, told Parliament on Monday.
She is suspected of being the driver of a car that the police say was traveling on the wrong side of the road when it collided with a motorcycle ridden by Harry Dunn, 19, on Aug. 27 in Brackley, a town about 60 miles northwest of London.
Although Ms. Sacoolas cooperated with the local police immediately after the crash, the next day she informed them of her diplomatic immunity, Chief Constable Nick Adderley of Northamptonshire Police told reporters on Tuesday.
This effectively halted their communication with Ms. Sacoolas.

The saddest part is, she likely would have got off if she just presented herself to police and explained it was an accident.
Instead she chose to put this young man's family through hell.

So she didn't know she had it and neither did anyone else.
You're defending the behaviour of occupation troops - I wonder why?

I doubt she did a single thing with out firstly contacting her superiors , she is herself an agent of the US Government she is well trained to be cool under fire
The reports in the paper possibly do not reflect the reality ,the death of the young man is for the family a grief nobody can describe , the US and UK governments however both recognized the protocol of her immunity

For the last 44 years I have driven on the Left ,I am a competent driver , when I get back to Blighty and drive I am confused and unsure so I drive slowly however I have had near misses
That is the reality

She was almost certainly speeding.
However, I think she and we were failed by the base - we could have made sure that she could not do this.

She was driving on the wrong side of the road. Her speed was irrelevant. But high speed would have definitely made a bad situation worse.
