David Beckham: Former Manchester United star to face full court hearing for using mobile phone while driving Bentley in London
Football icon David Beckham will face a full court hearing for driving his Bentley while using his mobile phone in London.Beckham, 43, admitted to using the device while driving on Great Portland Street, having been spotted by a member of the public on November 21st.2

Beckham’s next hearing will be held at an open court

His case was considered at Bromley Magistrates Court on Tuesday, through an administrative process known as a single justice procedure, which is not open to the press or public.The procedure was introduced across England and Wales in 2015 as a means of freeing up court time by allowing magistrates to quickly deal with low-level offences which do not warrant prison sentences.But the hearing was adjourned to Lavender Hill Magistrates Court on April 17 “to show cause”.

Beckham avoided a speeding prosecution in 2018 on a technicality

Two months before he was reported for the offence, Beckham was criticised after avoiding prosecution on a speeding charge because of a technicality.Enlisting the services of celebrity lawyer Nick Freeman, who is dubbed “Mr Loophole”, Beckham accepted he drove a loaned Bentley at 59mph in a 40mph zone in west London in January last year.But he did not face further action because a notice of intended prosecution (NIP) was not received until one day after the statutory 14-day time limit. Joshua Harris, director of campaigns for Brake, said it was “hugely disappointing” to see the role model “shirking his responsibility and getting off a speeding prosecution on a mere technicality”.Beckham was sent another NIP for the latest incident and was charged on February 5, according to court staff who were unable to access details of a plea.Mr Freeman also assisted Beckham in overturning an eight-month driving ban in 1999 after arguing that the footballer was trying to escape a paparazzi photographer.
