David Beckham has been banned from driving for six months after he admitted to using his phone behind the wheel.
The retired football legend admitted to using his phone behind the wheel after he was spotted by a member of the public while he was driving in Great Portland Street on November 21, and he was sentenced during a brief hearing on Thursday afternoon.
The star's case was considered at the same court in April through a single justice procedure - an administrative process not open to the public or press - which was introduced in England and Wales three years ago to free up court time by letting magistrates quickly deal with low-level offences which didn't warrant a prison sentence.
Speaking after the initial hearing, a member of court staff said: "The magistrates requested more information – either the circumstances in which it happened or they think they don’t have enough information about the charge to make an informed decision."
