Nick Hancock given six-month driving ban

Comic Nick Hancock has been given a six-month driving ban after being caught speeding in Scotland.

The They Think It's All Over host was driving at 95mph in a Volkswagen Touareg on the M90 between Perth and Edinburgh in August.

It was Hancock's fourth breach of the law in three years and he was disqualified under totting-up rules, reports the BBC. He was also fined £400 by Perth District Court.

Justice of the Peace Barbara Briggs-Constable said: "The letter from his solicitor says he is not offering any grounds of exceptional hardship and will accept the penalty of disqualification.

"I don't have a note of his income but I would suggest it would be substantial and I will impose a fine of £400."
