Paul Scholes receives six-month driving ban for speeding offenses

Paul Scholes has been banned from driving for six months following two speeding incidents within two days. The former Manchester United player was caught speeding on March 3 in Cleckheaton and again on November 14 in Ashton-under-Lyne. He was fined a total of £1,472 and convicted in his absence after failing to respond to prosecution notices. Court records confirm Scholes cannot attend a speed awareness course due to prior penalty points, resulting in an automatic ban. He will not appeal the decision.
