Overview
- He pleaded guilty to driving at 24mph in a 20mph zone on Old Oak Road, Acton, on March 31.
- He was fined £666, ordered to pay £130 in costs and a £266 surcharge, and received three additional penalty points.
- The new points took his total to 12, but magistrates found disqualification would cause exceptional hardship given his caring duties and charitable work.
- The bench noted he is the main breadwinner and carer for relatives with life‑limiting conditions, including a wife with interstitial lung disease and a daughter with medical needs.
- Magistrates rejected his lawyer’s bid to keep his address off the record despite stalking concerns, saying open justice required full identification.
