- Lavender Hill Magistrates' Court sentenced the musician on 7 January after he pleaded guilty in absence, with his lawyer conveying an apology for not attending.
- He was recorded driving 8mph over a 40mph limit on the elevated section of the M4 at Brentford on 19 February 2025 in a 2018 Mercedes-Benz G-Class.
- Court records showed he already had nine penalty points from three previous speeding offences between December 2022 and October 2024.
- District Judge Daniel Benjamin said the conduct placed other road users at risk of harm and described the latest offence as committed without any intention of abiding by the speed limit.
- The sentence added three more points and a total payment of £2,755 in fine, surcharge and costs, with the defence stating he has the means to pay.
