Romeo Beckham Fined over £700 for Phone Use and Loose Dog in Porsche 911 Car
The 23-year-old model was also ordered to pay £130 in costs and a £176 victim surcharge after being found guilty of poor control.
- At Westminster Magistrates Court last Thursday, Romeo Beckham was fined £440 and received three penalty points for driving without proper control. The 23-year-old model was convicted after failing to respond to an offer for a driver awareness course.
- Metropolitan Police Pc Luke Short stopped Beckham on September 16, 2025, in Westminster after spotting him scrolling on his phone while waiting at a red light. An 'unrestrained' dog sat on the passenger's lap inside the Porsche 911 Carrera.
- The officer described Beckham as 'distracted' and lacking control of the vehicle. Rule 57 of the Highway Code requires dogs be 'suitably restrained' to prevent driver distraction, though the officer initially offered only 'words of advice concerning the insecure load, namely the dog.'
- This conviction comes almost seven years after his father, Sir David Beckham, received a six-month driving ban in 2019 for using a mobile phone at the wheel. Sir David argued the ban would prevent him from driving his children to school.
- Magistrate Phillip Jordan ordered Beckham to pay £130 in court costs and a £176 victim surcharge through the single justice procedure. The private hearing concludes the legal matter initiated by the police stop in Westminster last year.
