A judge has banned British rapper, Stormzy from driving for nine months after he was caught using a mobile phone behind the wheel of a Rolls-Royce in London. District Judge, Andrew Sweet recently imposed the ban on the 31-year-old rapper during a hearing at Wimbledon Magistrates’ Court.
Stormzy had pleaded guilty via letter to the offence, which occurred in West Kensington on March 7 last year, and in addition to the driving ban, the judge fined him £2,010 ($2,498) after six penalty points were added to his license.
Stormzy already had six points from a previous speeding offence, bringing his total to 12 points, which under UK law results in an automatic disqualification.
Judge Andrew Sweet criticised Stormzy’s action by calling it dangerous and irresponsible, while noting that the rapper’s driving record was simply not good.
WOW.
