Glasner Banned for Speeding in London

0:00On March 5th, Crystal Palace manager Oliver Glasner has landed a six-month driving band after speeding through a 20-mile per-hour zone in London. The 51-year-old Austrian was clocked at 29 miles per hour on Old Kent Road in Bermonsi last July 15th, just before 730. AM, with prior driving offenses on his record, he faced an automatic disqualification from Willston Magistrate's court last week. He pleaded guilty by letter, accepting full responsibility and promising to avoid future issues due to his busy job. The court hit him with a 660-pound fine, plus 130 pounds in costs, and a 264-pound victim surcharge, all handled privately through a single justice procedure. Glasner had just led Palace to FA Cup success in May, though their European spot later dropped to the conference league. The band comes at a tense time, with Palace facing Tottenham Hotspur this Thursday and a crucial Premier League relegation fight. He's not alone.

1:00Last week, over 1,089 drivers were prosecuted for 20-mile per hour breaches, racking up more than 100, 57,000 pounds in fines, and 27 bands. Recent cases include TB producer, Jemima Goldsmiths, 1,000-pound fine, for a late response to a speeding ticket, actor Idris Elba's conviction on, his scooter, and bands for Manchester United's Lineuro, and others like Chelsea's Liam Roseneer. Metropolitan police enforcement on low-speed limits is ramping up, catching more public figures in the net as these quiet court processes come to. Light. Light. Light. Light. Light. Light. Light.
