Overview
- Lamarr, 59, was disqualified at Willesden Magistrates' Court on Tuesday after pleading guilty and receiving three penalty points.
- He admitted driving a 2019 Volvo XC60 at 46mph in a 40mph zone in Twickenham in June last year.
- The court heard he already had nine points from three prior speeding offences, and reaching 12 points can lead to a six‑month ban under the UK totting‑up rules.
- He argued that chronic fatigue syndrome and caring for his young daughter and his mother with arthritis made a ban unduly harsh, but the bench rejected the claim as not exceptional.
- Reports differ on the financial penalty, with Shropshire Star listing a £76 fine plus a £30 surcharge and £130 costs, while the Daily Star states £236 in total.
