Clarkson Beats Speeding Ticket
September 9, 2007 by Alborz Fallah
We’d all like to find a loophole out of those damn speeding tickets, and the man who can make it happen in Europe is Nick Freeman. His job is to help high profile (and rich) clients evade nasty Speeding Tickets, his latest client was topgear presenter, Jeremy Clarkson.
Clarkson was caught doing 132 km/h in a 85 zone (50 MPH) in an Alfa Romeo Brera press car. The authorities had sent the ticket to Alfa which had in turn forwarded it to Clarkson, and Clarkson being Clarkson, refused to name himself as the driver.
It all went to court, and Mr Freeman was there to lend a hand. Mr Freeman argued that Alfa Romeo only had details of who the car was loaned to, not who the driver was.
“If someone had looked at this process properly it would never have come to court” Mr Freeman said.
The prosecution failed to offer any evidence to prove Clarkson’s involvement and the court dismissed the charge.
In Australia there is one man who shares many similarities with Nick Freeman, his name is Scott Cooper.
Print it: 
Typical, it wouldnt be clarkson if he didnt object quite funny actually lol….I’m surprised the court didnt take into consideration his character and his public objections to speed cameras and his willingness to tell everyone about loop holes in speed cameras and the right speed to do to outrun a speed camera.
Good luck to him.
Has to be proven beyond doubt, and it wasn’t.
There is more to this story from the Press Association
Speaking outside court, Mr Freeman said: “The summons was fatally flawed. They (Alfa Romeo) did not have any information as to who the driver was. They only had information as to who the car was loaned to. The form wasn’t completed correctly.”
Regardless of who the driver was(but I can guess),to get caught in the first place exceeding the speed limit by such a margin is dopey,nothing to be smug about at all.
If a vehicle is on loan/rented to you,it is dumb in the extreme to allow any one to use it other than yourself.So whatever way you look at it this pleb, sorry celeb, does not come up smelling roses.
Just so u know, here in australia, if no one owes up to driving the vehicle at the time of the offence, the owner is automatically fined. No proof is needed. Its a fricking joke here in Aus. So much for democracy, especially now that communist kevin is our pm.
