Veteran British actor Jason Flemyng has been handed a six-month driving ban after admitting to a speeding offence on a major British roadway. The 62-year-old star, renowned for his roles in Guy Ritchie's 'Snatch' and the Netflix series 'Lockwood & Co', was caught exceeding the national speed limit.
The case was heard at Lavender Hill Magistrates' Court, where Flemying pleaded guilty to the charge. Court documents revealed the incident occurred on the A3, a key arterial road, where he drove above the 70 miles per hour limit.
In addition to the driving disqualification, the magistrate ordered Flemyng to pay a total of £807 in fines and costs. This sum is broken down into a £666 fine, £90 in costs, and a £51 victim surcharge.
Flemyng, a familiar face in British film and television for decades, is perhaps best known for his collaborations with director Guy Ritchie, appearing in classics like 'Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels' and 'The Gentleman'. His recent work includes a leading role in the popular supernatural detective series 'Lockwood & Co'.
The ruling serves as a stark reminder that speeding violations carry serious consequences, regardless of one's public profile. The court's decision underscores the strict enforcement of road safety laws across the United Kingdom.
