adminLONDON ― QPR winger Shaun Wright-Phillips escaped jail yesterday for driving while banned because he was “blissfully unaware” his licence had been revoked.
The former England international told Uxbridge Magistrates’ Court he was unaware he should not have been on the road, and claimed he had not seen the legal papers banning him from driving because they had been sent to his agent’s address.
Wright-Phillips had missed a string of court summons after his £200,000 Bentley was clocked doing 79mph on a 50mph stretch at Esher in Surrey, on March 28 last year.
The 31-year-old’s luxury car was registered at his agent’s address in Luton, Bedfordshire, which is where the important document informing him about his disqualification, was sent. ― Mailonline
