Premiership footballer banned from driving

Spurs defender Pascal Chimbonda was caught traveling at 90mph in a 70mph limit by officers in Yorkshire. Pascal already has driving convictions and currently has nine points on his licence. Officers stopped the premiership footballer during a roadside speed trap in his Porsche Cayenne on 11th January.

The Solicitor representing Mr Chimbonda presented the magistrates with evidence relating to the accuracy of the equipment used on the day in question. Firstly in breach of guidance the in-car radio was switched on which could have effected the accuracy of the equipment, secondly the traffic officer had not personally calibrated the speed gun. However the magistrates disregarded both of these factors and sentencing is due to take place on 10th September.
