[情報] Ron Dennis Driving License Suspended for 6 Months

[Santander (車子˙女人˙酒 缺一不可)]

When talking about Formula 1 and speeding tickets, most people would think of
drivers. After all, driving F1 single-seaters at over 150 mph every other
weekend can have an effect on one's everyday driving on public roads.
However, this news here – also about a wrongdoing while in traffic –
 doesn't concern an F1 driver, but a former F1 manager.

According to media reports in the UK, former team manager of McLaren Mercedes
Ron Dennis has had his driving license revoked for a period of 6 months.

Back in September, Dennis was caught by the traffic police running a red
light in Bagshot. Consequently, he received 3 points of penalty which, added
to his existing 9 at the time, got his total up to 12, leading to an
automatic six-month ban.

Earlier this week, he appeared in front of the Woking Magistrates Court and
pleaded guilty on the charges, but tried to make a case against the driving
ban. He argued that he ran the red light in order to avoid a collision with a
friend of his who was driving behind too close to his car. However, the
McLaren Group executive chairman did not succeed in convincing the Court to
let him keep his license, and was also fined ￡350 for the offence, along
with court costs.

“It was the decision I took for which I realise I'm here to take the
penalty, but as I have said I really need my licence,” said Dennis in court,
according to www.getsurrey.com website. “I have no hardship but I would have
a massive amount of trouble not being able to look after my daughter at the
weekends.”

“Our executive chairman's driving license has been suspended for six months
following four minor traffic infringements that resulted in 12 penalty points
being accrued,” added a spokesman for McLaren.
