Katie Price has been
disqualified from driving
after receiving three
further points on her
licence for speeding,
PRESS ASSOCIATION
reported December 1st,
2010.
The glamour model
was caught by a speed
camera doing 83mph
along the A23 at Pyecombe
in West Sussex on
December 10 last year.
Katie did not attend Crawley
Magistrates’ Court for the
hearing but pleaded guilty
to the charge in her absence.
Her lawyer,
Robin Sellers,
told the court she was being
pursued by photographers
when she was caught speeding
along the 70mph road.
He said:
“About nine minutes
before she was caught
she pulled over and in a
state of exasperation asked
that another enforcement
officer could have a word
with a couple of members
of the paparazzi who
were following her.”
The judge replied:
“It goes with the territory.”
Katie,
also known as Jordan,
now has 13 points
on her licence.
Earlier this year she
received three points after
she was convicted of not
being in proper control
of her luxury 7.5 tonne
pink horsebox.
As well as being banned
from driving for six months,
Katie was ordered to pay
a £1,000 fine and
£100 costs.
Katie’s spokesman said:
“Katie accepts that whilst
attempting to distance
herself from paparazzi
who were pursuing her
(and about whose actions she
had just notified the police)
she was guilty of speeding.”
“Katie would like to thank
the magistrates for the
manner with which they
have dealt with this matter
and will raise her concerns
about the behaviour of a
small section of the paparazzi
with the appropriate bodies.”
