Noel Gallagher banned from driving for six months over unpaid speeding fines

https://www.theguardian.com/music/2023/sep/06/noel-gallagher-banned-driv...

Quote:

Noel Gallagher has been banned from driving for six months and fined more than £1,000 over a series of unpaid speeding tickets – despite not holding a driving licence.

...

Gallagher was fined £1,340 and ordered to pay a £536 court fee and £110 prosecution cost. A further 12 penalty points were handed to Gallagher’s existing six for a prior speeding ticket. He was handed a six-month driving ban for the total 18 points.

It means Gallagher will not himself be able to drive for six months, but can still be chauffeured. He pleaded guilty to two charges of failing to give information to the police identifying the driver of his vehicle.

He's taking the piss by not naming his chauffeur as the driver. Surprised the court lets him exploit that loop hole.

Some might say to learn from his mistakes and don't look back in anger.

Noel was the most pragmatic of the two brothers, so he almost certainly won't look back in anger.

I hadn't seen your post before I made mine, honest!

Someone asked me the other day if I was going to stop posting squirrel pics.

I said maybe...
