Diouf fined and banned for string of driving offences
Premier League footballer El Hadji Diouf was yesterday banned from driving for six months after he admitted a number of offences.
The Blackburn Rovers striker was sentenced by Tameside magistrates for three separate matters in July, September and November of last year. He did not attend the hearing.
The first incident involved speeding at 38mph on a 30mph road in Bolton, the second failing to produce documents when stopped in a white Porsche Cayenne in Wythenshawe in September, and separate charges of speeding and failing to identify a driver in November 2009, as well as driving without a valid licence and failing to produce an insurance certificate.
The former Liverpool, Bolton Wanderers and Sunderland player was also fined a total of 810 and ordered to pay 105 costs and a 15 victim surcharge.
