Robbie Savage avoids driving ban for speeding at 99mph after lawyer says he can't share public transport with football fans who hate him

Not the first, and won't be the last. Zak Whitbread had about 17points on his licence and never faced a speeding ban and Barry Bannan was driving a Bentley on a provisional licence. To name but two!

Embarrasing what they can get away with.

The daft thing about this, is that those leniency factors apply to a lot of people, whereas Savage is clearly financially capable of hiring a driver for a month.  Ridiculous decision.

Makes you Savage.

Perhaps a month on public transport a bit of abuse, will put his feet back on the ground from that high pedestal footballers put themselves on ,or as Jon said not on your Nelly. Driver for a month.

his punishment for driving too fast should be that he has to get abused for a month, not that being the reason he shouldn't be punished

My friend was caught doing 110mph on the A6 and taken to court, all you have to do is say you need your license for your job and bingo - 2 week ban, small fine and no points. 

 

That doesn't work in France.

99mph in a 70 limit and he got 6 points and a £600 fine, which is what anybody else would have got.

 

APCO guidelines are to issue a summons for speeds above 96mph.

 

So 99mph is only 3 mph into that bracket and anything worse than 6 points would be unlikely, in fact the full 6 points is more than many get. Had he been going 3 mph slower he'd have got 3 points and £100 FPN.

 

The only question mark would be the level of fine, it's supposed to be linked to earnings and I find it hard to believe Savage is earning an average income.

Just cos he can't share public transport doesn't mean he has to go over 70mph lol.

 

Since when does that make you speed well over the limit?!

Maybe Savage should try being less of a **** and then maybe people wouldn't hate him. 

And he should be banned from driving. Joke of a result.

I think the reasoning is that they can't take his license from him, because he needs his car, and he can't use public transport. Fvcking ridiculous, however they got to that decision.

I got 3 points and a £100 fine in October for doing 90 on the M5. It's not an excuse but it was 11pm and no one was on the road. He said I was lucky not to get a ban, taught me a lesson though as I need to drive for my job so won't be doing that again.

I suppose. He may need his car but that still doesn't warrant him being allowed to speed!

what has not being liked on public transport got to do with speeding? i assume nigel pearson travels at super sonic speed going from the abuse he gets from  some 'fans'
