Man United Legend Banned From Roads After Range Rover Caught Speeding in Cleckheaton
The former Manchester United midfielder was fined about £1,472 after police said his cars were recorded at 37mph and 49mph in 30mph zones.
- Former Manchester United player Paul Scholes received a six-month driving ban last week following two motoring convictions, with court proceedings resulting in total fines and costs of £1,472.
- West Yorkshire Police prosecuted Scholes for a March speeding incident in his Range Rover near Cleckheaton, while Greater Manchester Police pursued him for a November incident involving his Mercedes on Mossley Road.
- Prosecuted under the Single Justice Procedure, Scholes did not enter pleas and was convicted in his absence; court papers noted he is a "totter," meaning existing penalty points mandated an automatic ban.
- At Bradford Magistrates, Scholes received a £220 fine; Manchester Magistrates imposed £660, with police dropping one speeding allegation after stating, "No reply has been received" to letters.
- Scholes played 499 times for Manchester United, winning 11 Premier League titles and three FA Cup wins; this driving ban concludes recent court proceedings regarding his motoring offenses.
