David Morrissey 'caught speeding three times within a week'

Actor David Morrissey could lose his driving licence after he was allegedly caught speeding three times within a week, a court heard.

The 61-year-old is accused of driving his £40,000 Mini Countryman at 46mph in a 40mph zone on the A406 in Willesden, north-west London, at 5.41am on August 2 last year.

Just two days later, he was allegedly clocked at 55mph and 48mph in 40mph zones on the A40 near Greenford on August 4 at 5.23am and 5 at 2.35am.

The BAFTA-nominated actor already has nine points on his licence and could face a driving ban if convicted.

Morrissey, of Camden, north London, denied three charges of excess speeding 40mph and didn't attend his three-hour trial at Willesden Magistrates’ Court yesterday.
