Wesley Fofana Pleads Guilty to Dangerous Driving, Receives Community Order and Fresh 18-Month Ban

Dashcam footage of his April A3 hard-shoulder driving was played in court, drawing a stern rebuke from the judge over his example to young fans.

Overview

  • He was sentenced at Staines Magistrates' Court to an 18-month community order with 300 hours of unpaid work, plus £85 in costs and a £114 victim surcharge.
  • He received a further 18-month disqualification on top of an existing ban that keeps him off the road until May 13, 2027.
  • Prosecutors said dashcam video captured him undertaking at speed on the A3 Esher Bypass’s hard shoulder in a 50mph zone at about 4:50pm on April 20.
  • District Judge Julie Cooper warned that he must pass an extended test after disqualification and that driving while banned would likely lead to prison.
  • The case follows multiple prior speeding offences in high-value cars, and media reporting described this as the 25-year-old’s ninth driving offence.
