Rio Ferdinand drive ban after 3 speed limit raps
Posted Wednesday, September 12, 2012 by The Sun
RIO Ferdinand was banned from driving yesterday after he was nicked for speeding THREE times in five weeks on the same road.
The Manchester United ace’s £90,000 Jaguar XJ was snapped zooming through a 30mph zone as he drove to and from training.
England star Rio, 33, tried to beat a ban by pleading he needed his licence to take his two sons to school.
But the argument was rejected by Trafford magistrates in Greater Manchester and he was hit with a six-month ban.
Ferdinand was flashed by a speed camera on the A56 in Manchester in February doing 38mph in a 30mph area.
He had been flashed for speeding at the same spot twice in January and already had three points on his licence.
Speeding charity Brake last night blasted the footballer for using his kids to try to beat a ban.
Spokesman Richard Coteau said: “By repeatedly choosing to break speed limits he sends out a worrying and dangerous message.”
