The 56-year-old television presenter, best known for co-hosting Top Gear alongside Jeremy Clarkson and James May, was fined £999 for two speeding offences committed late last year in high-performance vehicles. Hammond told Times Radio: "I think I need to [be more of a pootler]. "The number on my dashboard was bigger than the number on the little sign. On December 2, Mr Hammond was recorded driving his Porsche Taycan Cross Turismo at 68mph in a 50mph zone on the A40 in Pencraig, Herefordshire, just before 1pm. Telford Magistrates’ Court sentenced him to seven penalty points and ordered him to pay a total of £1,771, including two fines of £333 and £666, £240 in costs, and victim surcharges totalling £532.
