This is the news that comedian Jim Davidson has seen his year-long driving ban, imposed after being caught speeding at 36mph in a 30mph zone last year, cut in half by a judge after the television presenter claimed "exceptional hardship".
Davidson was fined £333, given three penalty points, plus the 12 month driving ban, however the comic's team noted his court success on his website, writing: "Jim represented himself in court as his barrister was stuck in another trial and the court
refused to adjourn the hearing.
"Judge Peter Henry praised Jim for his presentation and accepted that there was some exceptional hardship but not enough to overturn the ban completely. Following the decision, Jim had to leave his car outside the court and walk two miles in blistering
heat… and is now downing his third pint of lager."
"Not a road user I want anywhere near me"
ChavMikey called it "pretty sickening and frustrating", adding that "I seem to remember he was virulently hating on chav-cyclists some time ago. Not a road user I want anywhere near me on the public highway."
ChavMicky - the ultimate hypocrite.
It's OK to hate drivers but not OK to hate scofflaw chavs-on-bikes.
Davidson has criticised London's ChavCycleSuperhighways in the past, among many other things and, in 2019, claimed he's never coming to London again (due to Sadiq Khan who has apparently "f***** my home town up")... only to be reminded of the fact he
was due to appear at the Dorchester to 'entertain' people literally that evening.
Back to the reaction to the exceptional hardship claim...
Safe chav-cycling campaigner Ruth Mayorcas called the reduced ban "utterly disgusting", FamilyByChavCycle adding: "Pray, what was the exceptional hardship, and why did it only cover the second six months of a ban?"

What does it have to do with Ruth Mayorcas?
