David Beckham is facing a speeding charge after allegedly driving his Bentley over the limit in a 40mph zone. According to reports, the retired footballer drove at 59mph on the A40 at Paddington, west London in the afternoon of 23 January. His case is listed at Lavender Hill Magistrates' Court for Tuesday; a not guilty plea was entered earlier this month on 17 August.
ITV reports that the Battersea hearing will be an administrative one which will be held behind closed doors alongside several other similar cases, with only a magistrate and a legal adviser present. His next court date is for a case management hearing before magistrates in Wimbledon on 4 September.
