A father and daughter claimed they had to jump out of the way of a car which drove up on to a pavement.
Nicole Tawse was behind the wheel when the vehicle mounted the pavement and landed on the grass verge, narrowly missing her niece and her father.
Tawse, 28, of Hilton Road, Cowdenbeath, claimed she was reversing after her car hit a tree.
She denied driving dangerously when she went on trial at Dunfermline Sheriff Court and was found guilty of the lesser charge of careless driving.
The court heard the incident happened at Leuchatsbeath Drive, Cowdenbeath, on September 30 and one of the pedestrians was Richard Hendry, the former partner of Tawse’s half-sister.
His daughter, Ellie Grant, 19, Tawse’s niece, said she had to jump out of the way of the car.
Mr Hendry, 51, also from Cowdenbeath, claimed he also had to jump out of the way of the car.
Tawse claimed she parked on the verge so she could speak to Mr Hendry following an earlier altercation.
Sheriff James Macdonald fined Tawse £400 and endorsed her licence with seven penalty points.
