Sir Idris Elba has been fined after being caught speeding while riding a scooter through central London, in a case that has drawn attention to the growing scrutiny around personal transport use in the capital. The offence resulted in a £147 fine, alongside three penalty points added to his driving licence. In addition to the fine, Elba was ordered to pay £110 in court costs and a £59 victim surcharge, bringing the total financial penalty to just over £300, or approximately €170. A spokesperson for the Metropolitan Police told the court that Elba had initially been offered the option of a fixed penalty notice for the offence. They told the court that the fixed penalty notice never reached the actor and insisted that, had it arrived, he would have acted immediately.
