Former Manchester United,Real Madrid and England football star David Beckham has been banned from driving for six months after he was caught using his mobile phone behind the wheel.

A court heard he was photographed by a member of the public holding a phone while driving his luxury Bentley car in London's West End on November 21.

Prosecutor Matthew Spratt,said:
"Instead of looking straight forward, paying attention to the road, he appeared to be looking at his lap"

"He (the witness) says that the defendant was operating a handheld device at knee level. At that moment a photograph was taken."





The 44 year old star ,who boasts of Aston Martin V8 Vantage, Bentley Bentayga,Cadillac Escalade, Bentley Mulsanne and a Rolls-Royce Phantom Drop Head Coupe to mention a few , received six points on his licence to add to the six he already had for previous speeding matters.

He was also fined £750, ordered to pay £100 in prosecution costs and a £75 surcharge fee within seven days.

Beckham's defence barrister Gerrard Tyrrell said the former Man U midfielder had "no recollection of the day in question or this particular incident".

He added:
"There is no excuse for what took place but his view is that he cannot remember."

Here in Nigeria we don't see that as a crime.

He won't drive..... But can be driven....

Nonsense

Oh so bad, hope he is not going to lose his driving skills?

I can’t interpret that English

I almost die trying

Mr delectable. Oko Victoria

If such a law banning calls while driving exist in Nigeria there will be protest and condemnation of it

That's a system that work.


Nobody is above the law, irrespective of the good you have done for your country, you must always play by their rules.


It's a matter of time I know Beckham will get over it, one of your grown up kids can be driving you around or you get a driver for that 6month.

At least make driver self chop small for your money

this is a sane country where d law works unlike Nigeria where everything is swept under the carpet. m sure if it were to b Nigeria, some fools will b supporting him n calling d person that snapped him bad belle


I hate people who use phone behind d wheel cos I remember d 18th of September 2016 along oju Ore in sango otta, na so one driver got carried away while pressing phone n hit me n d bikeman. till today I still see d scars all over my body n I can tell its a very bad experience

What baffles me is that he said he couldn't remember when he even committed the offence which means a CCTV must have been what was used to catch him... Civilized countries, I hail you'll.
