Ex-Isle of Man TT rider Guy Martin hit with driving ban
Guy Martin has been hit with a driving ban following two driving offences
Former Isle of Man TT star Guy Martin has been given a six-month driving ban after admitting to two speeding offences.
The BBC reported earlier this week that Martin admitted to riding his bike at 46mph on the A50, near Leicester in England, with the speed limit on that road set at 40mph.
He was then caught doing 78mph on a 50mph zone on the A43, which is currently under a temporary limit due to HS2 road works.
The first offence occurred on 15 July, according to the BBC, while he was riding a Honda. The second came on 19 March.
A private hearing was held last week at Loughborough Magistrates’ Court, with Martin ordered to pay £1329 in fines, costs and victim surcharges.
The six-month ban comes as Martin reached 12 points on his licence.
A partner at law firm Chattertons wrote on Martin’s behalf, according to the BBC: “He apologises to the court for his offending.
“He will not be opposing the totting up six-month disqualification.”
Martin achieved 17 podiums at the Isle of Man TT between 2003 and 2017, but hasn’t raced at the event since his unsuccessful comeback with Honda in 2017.
He became a TV personality during his racing career, and continued to present after stepping away from competition.
