He said when his condition was bad, he had to “lie down for a day or two” and would be unable to walk for weeks.<\/p>\n
He said he needed his car to transport his young daughter and to visit his mother, who had arthritis.<\/p>\n
Lamarr also told the court he was “effectively retired” and is now dealing records, and uses his car to find stock.<\/p>\n
The court heard that he already had nine points on his driving licence for three prior speeding offences between August 2023 and May 2025.<\/p>\n
On the recent offence, Lamarr told the court: “It was very early in the morning, there wasn’t anybody around.<\/p>\n
“Sometimes when there’s no other traffic around at all your mind isn’t quite as concentrated on the few miles an hour of the speed limit you are exceeding.”<\/p>\n
Chairwoman of the magistrates’ bench Margaret Mansi noted that while he would suffer some hardship, it would not amount to exceptional hardship.<\/p>\n
Lamarr became famous in the 1990s with TV shows like The Word, The Big Breakfast and Shooting Stars.<\/p>\n
