Ian Poveda, a 26-year-old former Premier League footballer, has been banned from driving for six months after being caught speeding at 100 mph on the A184 dual carriageway in South Tyneside, England. The incident occurred in February last year while he was driving his black Range Rover. Poveda, who recently transferred to Colombian club Inter Bogotá, was not present at the hearing at North Tyneside Magistrates' Court. He already had six points on his license from previous speeding offenses and was handed an additional six points, resulting in a total of twelve points. Along with the points, he was fined £800 (approximately $1,000 USD), with a £320 surcharge and £600 in costs. Prosecutor Brian Payne stated that the Range Rover was observed accelerating significantly above the speed limit, while Poveda's defense argued that the speeding occurred for a brief period. Poveda has also played for clubs including Leeds United, Blackburn Rovers, Sheffield Wednesday, and Blackpool.
