Celebrity Driving: Beckhams Booking |
Although usually seen being booked on the football pitch - this week David Beckham received a whole new type of red card. David Beckham often famed for his activities off the pitch as much as on the pitch was stopped in Los Angeles earlier this week and awarded a point on his American driving license and a £80 ($160 USD) on the spot fine (with the option to avoid the point should he spend a day in traffic school) for driving his large Cadillac Escalade irresponsibly, attempting to make a right hand turn from a left hand junction.
You do wonder whether Beckham will really notice the fine, having this year re-claimed his title as the world’s highest earning football star - collecting a fee of £24,700,000 for his endorsements, his own brand products and playing for LA Galaxy.
Beckham although this time caught in the act, has not received any other motoring convictions since early in 1999 when he was convicted of speeding in Cheshire when driving his Ferrari. He managed to successfully appeal this conviction and an 8 month ban after claiming he was only speeding to get away from pursuing paparazzi.
