Noel Gallagher has been banned from driving for six months over a series of unpaid speeding tickets \u2013 despite not actually holding a driving licence himself.<\/p>\n
The chart-topping singer and musician, 56, who famously never learned to drive, has also been fined almost \u00a32,000.<\/p>\n
Lavender Hill magistrates court heard the case on Wednesday, which addressed unpaid speeding tickets from November 2022 and February this year.<\/p>\n
Former Oasis star Gallagher, who is chauffeured around in a \u00a3120,000 Range Rover, was previously in trouble with the law in June over failing to answer Metropolitan Police letters regarding a speeding ticket.<\/p>\n
Despite his driver owning up to the correspondence mix-up and the speeding \u2013 the car was clocked by a speed camera traveling at 41mph on a 30mph stretch of the A40 near Edgware Road station \u2013 as the registered owner of the vehicle, Gallagher was prosecuted and pleaded guilty.<\/p>\n
He received six penalty points on his licence, a \u00a3742 fine and costs and court fees totalling \u00a3396.<\/p>\n

Yesterday, the High Flying Birds frontman\u2019s letter was read in court, in which he accepted responsibility for further unanswered letters regarding speeding fines.<\/p>\n
\u2018I did not personally receive the notice or the reminder, and neither were brought to my attention by my staff,\u2019 the star wrote, according to the Evening Standard.<\/p>\n
\u2018I have a team of people who assist me with the management of my personal and business matters, which includes correspondence that is sent to my home address.\u2019<\/p>\n
However, he acknowledged that it was his \u2018responsibility as the registered keeper of a motor vehicle to ensure that suitable and effective arrangements are in place to safeguard against important correspondence not being dealt with as required\u2019.<\/p>\n
Gallagher, who recently revealed the reason behind his recent four-letter word rant about Adele, also confirmed that after the previous court case \u2018necessary improvements have been implemented\u2019.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
He added: \u2018Once my management team notified me about the receipt of the court documentation concerning this matter, the original notice was completed, identifying the driver, and returned.\u2019<\/p>\n
The star\u2019s driver, Alan Neeson, previously also submitted a written statement in the first prosecution from the end of May in which he said he was \u2018solely responsible for correspondence and other matters regarding vehicles\u2019 and confirmed that his employer does not hold a licence.<\/p>\n
Magistrates have now handed Gallagher a further 12 penalty points and an automatic six-month driving ban after that made for a total of 18 points on his licence (were he to have one).<\/p>\n
This came after Gallagher\u2019s Range Rover was caught breaking a 30mph speed limit twice, by doing 35mph on November 30 and 41mph on January 2.<\/p>\n
Due to the ban, he will not be able to drive himself for the next six months, but is able to continue being chauffeured.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
He was also ordered to pay \u00a31340 in fines, \u00a3110 in prosecution costs and a \u00a3536 court fee, totalling \u00a31,986.<\/p>\n
The Don\u2019t Look Back In Anger singer has been given a week to pay the bill after he confirmed in his letter that he was willing to pay any financial penalties.<\/p>\n
Gallagher pleased guilty to two charges of failing to give information to the police identifying the driver of his vehicle.<\/p>\n
