Beckham to use loophole in speed charge

Former England football captain David Beckham pleaded not guilty on Tuesday to a technicality to a speeding offence in a loaned Bentley, and will face trial later this month.

The ex-Manchester United star was caught driving the luxury car at 94 kilometers per hour in a 65km zone in London in January. But his lawyer Nick Freeman, known as 鈥淢r Loophole,鈥 argued at a London court that the notice of prosecution was served a day after the 14-day limit.

鈥淭here鈥檚 no issue in terms of driving or speed limit,鈥 Freeman told the judge.

鈥淚鈥檓 not disputing it (notice) wasn鈥檛 served. I鈥檓 saying it was served out of time.鈥
