British rapper, Stormzy banned from driving in UK

Popular British rapper, Stormzy has been banned from driving for nine months in the UK.

The singer was banned by the Wimbledon Magistrates’ Court on Thursday after an off-duty police officer caught him in London using a mobile phone behind the wheel of his Rolls-Royce vehicle.

The District judge, Andrew Sweet handed him the ban after he pleaded guilty, via a letter, to driving while using the device in west Kensington on March 7 2024.

Sweet noted that Stormzy’s driving record was “not good” and criticised his “dangerous and irresponsible” actions.

The judge fined him £2,010 ($2,498) after an additional six points were added to his licence.

Prior to Thursday’s hearing, Stormzy had 6 points on his licence for a previous speeding offence.

DAILY POST reports that drivers can be disqualified in the UK if they build up 12 or more penalty points within a period of 3 years.
