Cruz Beckham, the 20-year-old son of David and Victoria Beckham, has had his driving licence revoked after accumulating penalty points from two speeding offences.
A Swift End to Driving Privileges
Just two years after celebrating his driving test pass with a trip to a McDonald's drive-thru, the young musician's time on the road has been abruptly halted. The revocation occurred because he received six or more penalty points within two years of passing his test, a rule enforced by the DVLA.
The Speeding Offences and National Context
One of the offences took place on September 2, with Cruz informing his Instagram followers he had 'just got done for doing 24 in a 20'. This incident highlights a broader national trend. New figures reveal that almost 500,000 speeding tickets were issued to drivers breaking the limit on 20mph roads last year, a startling two-thirds increase compared to the previous 12 months.
A source close to the Beckhams' youngest son said, 'Cruz is gutted about it. It was a couple of speeding tickets which are so easy to come by these days with 20mph zones.' After receiving one ticket, he shared a quirky film quote, stating: 'Games gone. Myself I feel very safe.'
Family Traits and Future Steps
In a case of like father like son, Cruz's driving troubles mirror those of his father, David Beckham. Sir David was previously banned for six months in May 2019 for using his mobile phone while driving, adding to points from prior speeding offences.
Cruz, a noted car fanatic who drives a burgundy Land Rover and a silver 1980s Mercedes, must now start from scratch. He will have to reapply for a provisional licence and pass both the theory and practical driving tests again before he is legally allowed back behind the wheel. Last Thursday, he was seen enjoying a night out in London with his girlfriend, Jackie Apostel, and his sister, Harper.
