BBC Former Sunderland player banned from driving


Brian Payne, prosecuting, told the court the police officer saw the Range Rover accelerate away on the A184 dual carriageway.

"It is clear the Range Rover was travelling well in excess of the speed limit," he said.

"I am going to suggest it was at about 100mph in a 70mph zone."


So they didnt catch him on a speed camera or owt? How can they know he was definitely speeding?

That is just what Prosecuting Counsel said. We'll never know what evidence the Crown might have offered to prove beyond reasonable doubt that he was speeding, since he pleaded guilty.
