This conviction probably pushed him over the points threshold for a ban.

Maybe it's because he's a boxer, young, obviously wealthy etc that turns some people against him in circumstances like this. Would you feel the same if he was mid 40s R1 owner, a bricklayer and just about keeping a roof over his head?
Pretty much my POV on the matter. I don't for a second believe he was only doing 75, but so what? I've done ban-worthy speeds on the roads in a safe manner and I'm sure most people here have too. I don't resent the chap getting away with it at all.

Before we all get on our high horses......
Most of us at some point have all done this speed either on the motorway or elsewhere. He got caught is all, no biggie. Could have been any number of us, it's just that he is famous that people make a deal out of it. He's a young lad with a very fast car. I'm glad he has learnt from it though.

KHAN is clearly lying.

But like someone just said, if we faced a ban what would we do?

At this point I feel I should point out that the young man in question is a follower of the Islamic faith, and as such "Porkie Pies" in whatever form are forbidden by his religion.

I thank you for your understanding.
