Gallagher was previously prosecuted when the chauffeur-driven motor was caught speeding in West London last October.<\/p>\n
The Range Rover was clocked by a speed camera doing 41mph on a 30mph stretch of the A40 near Edgware Road station.<\/p>\n
He was handed a \u00a3742 fine and six penalty points despite not owning a driving licence.<\/p>\n
But his driver Alan Neeson then wrote to Willesden Magistrates' Court, explaining he had been at the wheel at the time.<\/p>\n
