Welsh rugby star Gavin Henson has been banned for driving for a month for driving at 110mph on the M4 in Wiltshire, according to the BBC.
Henson's solicitor asked magistrates to take into account the rugby player's charity commitments. He said the rugby star could cope with disqualification but added, "The children would miss out through his charitable work".
Henson should have thought of this before driving at such a reckless speed: 40mph above the speed limit. The Wiltshire section of the M4 is an accident blackspot, partly thanks to idiots like Henson.
I,m not condoning Gavin's actions. It does however seem very wrong that a policeman driving much faster can get away with it.

I agree with you, JR. Mind, I'll be watching my speed when I drive along the M4 to Cardiff tonight!
