8 Cars In David Beckham’s Collection That Prove He Has Great Taste – SlashGear

While, in his younger years, Beckham could get away with driving supercars everyday, now that he has a family to drive round, that’s not so practical. However, when you’re worth hundreds of millions of dollars, you don’t need to compromise too much. The soccer player is often pictured driving around London in his black Bentley Bentayga, an SUV that’s big enough to fit his whole family, yet luxurious enough to suit even the most discerning of drivers. Unfortunately for Beckham, he got a bit too comfortable driving the car, and was caught speeding in it in 2018.

The Telegraph reports that he was charged with speeding 19 mph over the legal limit, doing 59 mph in a 40 mph zone. However, after a short legal battle with a celebrity lawyer known as “Mr Loophole” at his aid, he was let off (via Sky News). His lawyer argued that because British law dictates that a notice of intended prosecution has to be delivered to the defendant within 14 days of the alleged offense occurring, the police would have to prove that the speeding ticket reached Mr. Beckham’s address by that time. They couldn’t, and so the judge had no choice but to let Beckham off the hook. He’s not been hauled in front of the court again since then, so clearly he’s been paying a little more attention to his Bentley’s speedo after that close shave.
