Who gives a fuck about his telly program? Seriously this is outrageous and makes a joke of traffic laws the rest of us have to stick to. What a piss take
I don’t get this - if driving is so important to his livelihood then presumably he could choose to drive within the speed limit in order that this never became an issue? Or, he can pay for a driver for the length of the ban
The issue is that he needs to drive to shoot the tv show since driving is a part of the show. Cancelling the show would result in a bunch of innocent people not making money by making the show.
Ok I accept that - I work in TV and I know that employment is tough BUT this is about personal responsibility - he is saying I broke the law but I shouldn’t suffer because others will suffer. Well the best route was to take that responsibility seriously by not speeding
He still got banned just for 2 months instead of 6. And personally, if we were serious about speeding we would be giving out jail sentences for it and not poxy bans.
Still don’t understand how after all the billions of industry R&D it is possible to drive your car >75mph (i.e. small margin) on a UK motorway. There’s literally electronic stuff governing every aspect of the car’s behaviour. Almost like it’s a political/lobbying problem rather than a technical one.
The court appearance could just as easily been put back to after production, thus justice as for all of us would be done, is this not the 2nd time he's done this

That's basically the 'hardship' plea we allow for this one, specific crime.
Why should rich TV presenter be different?
