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...

What was his excuse? Rushing to get to his mandatory drugs test?

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:

Re: Rio Ferdinand banned

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?

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.
