104 mph in a 50 mph zone and he gets a £1000 fine and 4 month ban and.....wait for it....he asked for 21 days to pay



I was going to suggest a whip round to help out with the fine.

 

WTF was he not banned for a longtime, if it was you or I, we would be - over double the speed limit.

£1k, thought fines were proportional?

 

My thoughts exactly, I would expect a much longer ban for that.

 

I heard on the radio that he got a light punishment as he was "being chased by the paparazi".

"Oh no, they're taking my picture, I must endanger lots of peoples' lives and get away from them"

Fine is not enough.

10 years ago I was fined £150 for 104 mph, but mine was on a dual carriageway. My income / assets aren't worth anything like his.

 

I'd have a whip round for him,...................... first shot of the cat o' nine tails to me though, the rest of you fight for second.

 

"...he asked for 21 days to pay"

The last famous person who tried to "outrun" the paparazzi died in a Paris tunnel me thinks

I do think there is very much double standards in this country on certain legal issues when it comes to being famous.

 

Well, not sticking up for him, but if he earns £100,000 a week, he is paying £40,000 a week in tax so maybe we should be lenient

 

Surely that's a custodial??

 

that still gives him £60k for this week.
What a dilema he still only has £59k left.
Ban should have been longer and the fine higher.
He got away lightly.

 

Not if he's got a half decent accountant, I'm sure
