Rio Ferdinand banned
 

He has been banned from driving for 28 days.

Seems that Rio should have used the excuse that he was 'honing his skills', as he passed a police car at over 100mph on the M6.

That would have got him off for sure...

I cannot recognise any of the above Christian names as those of saints. Does anyone?

Oooops..............wrong thread!

Re: Rio Ferdinand banned
 

If it had been you or me speeding, do you think we would have got a 28 day ban.......?
I don't THINK so........!

I wonder, if like this other joker, he got legal aid for his defence council:

His 4th driving ban and they only make it 28 days and £1500 fine. He probably spends that on a night out. I bet he feels really chastised.

Will he have to get a taxi if he wants to go dogging now?

Wrong one?

Ooops!

Re: Rio Ferdinand banned
 

Maybe he will just stay in Africa for the 28 days

Re: Rio Ferdinand banned
 

28 days that is going to hurt him, taxi nightclubbing, chauffer to training and as for the fine he just earned that as i was typing this post!

Re: Rio Ferdinand banned
 

I wonder if this sets a legal precedent.......it would be interesting to see if the next 'ordinary person' to get stopped for speeding can use this court case to their benefit.

I think its disgusting that famous people are treated differently, and the ban and fine, they may as well not bother, that'll be nothing to him, shouldv'e given him some community service!

Re: Rio Ferdinand banned
 

Totally agree it's one rule for THEM and another for "us" I have also been told that if it was a company car he wont even have to pay the fine Man U will!!!!!!

Re: Rio Ferdinand banned
 

They should at least tie the fine in with his earnings, so that it does actually hurt him.

A £1,000 fine would hurt a lot of people, whereas that is just pin money to him.

Make it £100,000 and that would be a step in the right direction

Re: Rio Ferdinand banned
 

it is disgusting,but not surprising the only mild surprise is he got banned at all

Re: Rio Ferdinand banned
 

He "forgot" he was speeding. Ridiculous!

Re: Rio Ferdinand banned
