Former Verve frontman Richard Ashcroft banned 6 months and fined £2,755 for speeding on M4 with three prior convictions.
Richard Ashcroft, the former Verve frontman, has been banned from driving for six months and ordered to pay £2,755 after pleading guilty to speeding on the M4 near Brentford in February 2024.
He was caught driving a green Mercedes-Benz at 48mph in a 40mph zone, with three prior speeding convictions between 2022 and 2024.
The court heard he showed no intention of respecting speed limits, putting other road users at risk.
Despite not attending the Lavender Hill Magistrates’ Court hearing, his lawyer explained he had an unavoidable prior commitment.
Ashcroft received three penalty points, a six-month ban, and was required to pay a fine, surcharge, and prosecution costs, which he can afford.
