Footballer Ledley King received a 56-day driving ban in December 2010. The injury-prone Tottenham defender was clocked at 105mph by a speed-gun-wielding cop on the A14 near Newmarket.
In court, the defence solicitor argued that Ledley's Mercedes CL was travelling at no more than 95mph but the Magistrate ruled that the speed gun was accurate, handing down the ban and ordering the Premier league star to pay an £800 fine plus £250 costs.
To add insult to injury, King was fined a further £100 because the side windows of his luxury Mercedes coupe were too heavily tinted, allowing "insufficient transmission of light".
