Mario Lemina Handed £96,000 Driving Fine

[Dave]

Southampton midfielder Mario Lemina has been hit with a £96,000 fine for motoring offences and banned from driving for 12 months.

The 25-year-old failed to notify police on three occasions whether it was him behind the wheel when his Mercedes was caught speeding.

The three speeding charges were dropped as police could not determine who was driving.

The Gabon international claimed he did not know whether it was his brother or cousin driving. He admitted three counts of failing to notify police after ignoring their letters.

Lemina received 18 points on top of the 21 he already had on his non-UK licence, adding up to a year's driving ban.

Aldershot Magistrates' Court described the 39 points Lemina has accrued as one of the highest tallies they had seen in court.

Genuine question - is this £96,000 linked to income, or can Denise the cashier at Asda get slapped with that kind of fine?

I believe it is means tested.

It is based on personal income. Something Brian McFadden seriously failed to comprehend:

If only he received some sort of prior warning...
