By . Tara Brady . Mrs Williams stepped in front of the car with her lollipop sign to take the impact and tried to push five children out of the way . A lollipop lady who used her body as a human shield to protect children from out of control car has branded the driver's punishment as pathetic after he was fined just £100. Robert Bell, 62, drove at Karin Williams who used her body to save children as the car hurtled towards her. Mrs Williams, 50, stepped in front of the car with her lollipop sign to take the impact and tried to push five children out of the way. Bell, who was driving in a pair of flip flops, blamed a coughing fit for the accident outside the primary school in the village of Rhoose, near Cardiff. But the retired computer consultant was found guilty of driving without due care and attention after a three-day hearing at Cardiff magistrates court. District Judge Bodfan Jenkins told him: 'You were having a coughing fit and you did not deal with it properly as a driver ought to. 'You got your foot not where you intended on the brake but put it on the throttle. 'It was a misjudgement at low speed and a loss of control with horrendous consequences. 'This is a tragic case, more for those injured than yourself. 'The tragedy is something you will have to live with through a momentary lapse of concentration and misjudgement.' But Mrs Williams has branded the punishment 'pathetic'. She told the Daily Mirror: 'I can't believe he has been fined only £100. 'After everything he has put me through and the children through, it is simply pathetic.' Bell, of Fontygarry, Vale of Glamorgan, was fined £100 with a £20 victim surcharge and court costs of £1,130.
