Doing 80 something in a 60 mph zone. Deserves everything he gets, although I expect he thinks its the nasty, unnecessary speed camera and not his dangerous driving that is at fault. What a twit !

[ummmm]

First ticket in 30 years.

[NoMercy]

I can't believe this has even made the news.

I agree that he is a *** though.

[ummmm]

I like him too. I think he's hilarious.

[agchristie]

When he was pulled over at least there was no argy-bargy!

[paulllambert]

He's done well to go thirty years without being " caught". I've had about six of those nasty letters from the constabulary drop through my letterbox in the past dozen years.

[janbee]

He's such a wally, he'll probably see it as a badge of honour. He has his fans though. Why?
I despair !

[ummmm]

He'll see a speeding ticket as a badge of honour? Are you for real?

He has millions of fans worldwide.

[ChillDoubt]

Yawn. Slow news day?

[Old_Geezer]

I, also, don't see it as particularly newsworthy, save perhaps that he hasn't previously collected more. Nor why it should be a reason to be happy about it.

[ummmm]

That's what I don't understand OG....why be be happy and gloat about a speeding ticket...

[Zacs-Master]

Hang him! No, wait a minute......hang him then cut his body into pieces and stick his head on a spike outside traitors gate!!!

Jeez.

[ummmm]

Top Gear is the most widely watched factual programme in the world. Do you think it would have done so well without Clarkson? I don't...

[jno]

cutting his body into pieces is too good for him, Zac, you'll have to do better than that.

I don't like him, mainly because I'm not interested in cars, and there's some irony in the presenter of a motor programme getting a speeding ticket, but really it's not a news story.

///Doing 80 something in a 60 mph zone. Deserves everything he gets///

Which is a speeding-ticket.....

[DTCwordfan]

About as interesting as a bucket of nutty slack.

[Baldric]

///When he was pulled over///
Do you not know how speed camera penalties are dished out then?

First penalty of any kind in 30 years, he can't drive too badly overall can he?
makes you sound like an hysterical little old Lady Mikey!

[grasscarp]

Earns a million pounds a year presenting Top Gear. Sold production company to BBC. Author and columnist as well.
"what a twit" - I don't think so.

[DTCwordfan]

Haven't you thought, mikey, that the 'twittish' behaviour is all a put on for publicity purposes and happily coincides with new series and books etc.
He's no fool.....

Yes, he has had his surprises and maybe done some daft things on a personal level as to family relationships but, to me, it's a case of 'he who casts the first stone and all that' We're not all popes or saints, thank goodness......

[ummmm]

He hasn't had to use 'twittish' behaviour to promote his books before.
