ashley cole caught speeding

The Chelsea and England star, who did not attend court for his trial, was in his black Lamborghini on the A3 in Kingston, south west London, when a speed gun recorded him driving at 104mph.

Richard Lomax, prosecuting, told Kingston Magistrates' Court: ''The defendant was stopped and spoken to and the words he said at the time, when it became plain that somebody was pointing a speed camera at him, were 'Can't you do anything about those idiots who keep chasing me?'.''
Cole, 29, told police he thought he was driving at 80mph when he was stopped just after midday on November 17 2008.

''The Crown says there can be no other sensible construction of the words uttered by Mr Cole at the time than that he was conceding he was driving at a speed more than 50mph," said Mr Lomax.

"It is plain that he found the attention of persons with cameras unwelcome and he was trying to get away from them.

''The only sensible inference, therefore, is that he was going too quickly.''

The fact that Cole, married to singer and TV presenter Cheryl Cole, might have been trying to avoid photographers is not relevant, magistrates were told.

''It cannot be a defence to the offence of speeding that one is trying to get away in the circumstances of members of the press showing excessive attention,'' Mr Lomax said.

Traffic officer John Wills, of Surrey Police, who was carrying out speed checks on Robin Hood Way that day, said he initially noticed Cole's car because ''it seemed to be travelling considerably faster'' than any other vehicle.

Pc Wills and a colleague got in a police car after recording his speed and Cole pulled over in a nearby bus stop.

Cole was asked to get out of the car by Pc Wills, who told the court: ''I asked him if he knew what the speed limit was on that stretch of road, and he replied 50.

''Then I asked him what speed he was doing, and he said 80mph. I pointed out he was doing considerably more than that and showed him the laser device.''

The officer said that after being cautioned, Cole complained about photographers.

Pc Wills said: ''He pointed out that there was a man with a camera some distance further down the road.

''I saw him (the photographer) at that time, but I had no idea when he turned up. He was certainly not in evidence when I first saw the Lamborghini.''

Lawyers representing Cole, of Godalming, Surrey, tried to adjourn the case to allow evidence from an expert on speed guns to be considered, but magistrates' chairwoman Judith Jewell refused.

Katherine Hodson, defending, then argued that the speed gun operated by Pc Wills might not have been operating properly.

She claimed Cole had no case to answer, as Pc Wills had not been present when the device underwent its annual calibration, a measure stipulated by the Association of Chief Police Officers' code of conduct.

Ms Jewell, who heard Pc Wills had a certificate proving the equipment was working correctly, also refused that application.

awesome news ban the plank could of caused a serious accident then people would feel sorry for him if he died. lucky he didnt kill somebody

Although I don't condone speeding, I'm gonna be honest and say that if I had a lambo there would be at least a few times that I would try and get it past 100 mph.

[Gould]

on the motorway prehaps. not where ud get caught

[ChVint22]

Was he not on a highway? I don't know what the "A3" is?

If you get caught going past 100 here, I think you go straight to jail.

My car starts shaking terribly at 85-90, so I can't test it.

Well not unless the magistrate is a chelsea fan, he won't go to jail that way

[SE13]

100+ equals a ban here anyway......

[ChVint22]

Wonder if our friend Inch has gone past a 100 in his little sporty car?

[Briggsy]

The A3 is a dual carriage way as are all A roads. I don't drive but the maximum you can drive on a A road legally is 50 (I might be wrong) on the motorway its a different story but even 80 on a motorway is illegal I think

[SE13]

70 on a dual carriageway, 60 on single carriageway for cars.

Not all "A" Roads are dual carriageway either.

Ban him and crush his car. See Defoe has been done AGAIN. let off with a fooking £400 fine.

Me? I'm a sensible citizen and never break the law.



P.s. my car is faster than his.

Richard Lomax, prosecuting, told Kingston Magistrates' Court: ''The defendant was stopped and spoken to and the words he said at the time, when it became plain that somebody was pointing a speed camera at him, were 'Can't you do anything about those idiots who keep chasing me?'.''

But there was no-one there, the wanker is hallucinating now, too many phones up the arse.

What a shit lawyer.
You would've thought that a tosser like Hole could afford a better lawyer than that, everything about him is cheap.
Search around the internet and you'll find these twats claiming that they can get you off a speeding fine simply by arguing that the gun hasn't been calibrated properly, it's the oldest and lamest trick in the book.
The Police got wise to it years ago and now they calibrate everything every week so you've got no chance with that lame excuse.
