Rio Ferdinand banned from driving after speeding at 85mph in his Mercedes
Crawley Magistrates’ Court this morning.It's the second driving ban the father-of-three has been handed.Back in 2012, the 41-year-old was caught speeding in his luxury Jaguar on the same Manchester road three times in five weeks.He was fined and handed a six-month ban on that occasion, despite his lawyer, Nick 'Mr Loophole' Freeman, arguing he should get a shorter discretionary suspension.Ferdinand and his wife TV star Kate Wright were the focus of a BBC documentary, Rio And Kate: Becoming A Stepfamily, which aired earlier this year.It explored the challenges Wright dealt with in being both a partner to Ferdinand and a new stepmother to three grieving children.The couple are expecting their first child together.
