Lampard given driving ban

[Milan 17,854]

England and Chelsea footballer Frank Lampard has been banned for driving at more than 90mph on the A3 in Surrey.

Lampard had admitted speeding in a 50mph zone in his Range Rover at Claygate at a previous hearing.

Staines magistrates were told the footballer, who was not in court, was clocked driving towards London at 91mph in March 2010.

He was banned from driving for 90 days and fined £850. Lampard was also ordered to pay £2,300 costs.

If he wasn't endangering other people then who cares. Everybody likes to speed. He has a Ferari so why not.

Shit happens.

haha oh frank! When I met him in January Christine was driving his motor and dropped him at the bridge! Shes so annoying. I don't get why this is a story though...its not a big deal.

ah great..even frank acting like a twat now...can`t condone speeding unless there`s a legitimate reason for it..e.g wife/girlfriend giving birth..one of his kids needed urgent medical treatment.

otherwise it`s just like with drink driving, it`s an arrogant selfish act.

nobody got hurt this time..hope he learns from it. he is smarter than the average footballer,so there`s hope.

He was speeding because he found out JTs car was parked outside Christines house

Don't agree that it's the same as drunk driving.

Thankfully this driving ban doesn't apply to his box-to-box runs.

That's got to be the stupidest thing I have ever read on here.

Why?

[Aesthetic Relic 301]

Why?

Speeding is ok ?

Seriously.......think about it for a minute. He was doing almost twice the limit and you're not even allowed to drive that fast on the motorways. He was bloody stupid. You could understand and be a little bit sympathetic if he was 5-10mph over the limit, but doing 90mph in a 50mph zone is carnage waiting to happen.

He's lucky he didn't kill someone. I drove for a living and seen some really nasty shit on the roads.

expect Frank to show more sense than this ..if you want to speed become a F1 driver or an ambulance driver ,,,then speeding can be justified

No. I said if he wasn't putting other people in the danger. I'm well against irresponsible driving, like drunk driving or driving under the influence of drugs, speeding in built up areas.

But if you are on open empty road and the conditions are right ( dry surface, good tyres and breaks). In some situations even those 5-10 mphs are enough for an accident.

How can you be against irresponsible driving but say it's ok to speed if you have a clear road, dry conditions, etc...? Speeding is speeding end of. There's no backdoors imo.

He was putting people (and himself) in danger as soon as he decided to put the boot to the floor.
