Southampton star Danny Ings charged with speeding in his Bentley

SOUTHAMPTON star Danny Ings has been charged with speeding in his Bentley, after being snapped doing 10mph over the limit on the M27 motorway.

The 29-year-old striker was caught driving at an average of 60mph in a 50mph zone – with the speed limit set due to roadworks – at 3:29am near Southampton, Hants, on February 3 this year.


Ings, a former Liverpool player, failed to respond to a fixed penalty notice and now must appear in court.

Police case officer Angela Todd said: "A conditional offer of a fixed penalty was sent on April 9. 

“[Ings] has failed to comply with the requirements of these disposal options."

Ings, who lives in Winchester, Hants, is yet to enter a plea.

The footballer was said to have been travelling eastbound between junctions four and five, where Highways England is carrying out roadworks to make a smart motorway.

Yellow hawk average speed cameras had been installed along the stretch with a 50mph speed restriction in place.
