The 56-year-old Gallagher drove through west London at 41 mph (about 65 kph) in October in a place where you’re only allowed 30 (about 48 kph). However, the musician subsequently refused to provide information about the identity of the driver.
Gallagher may not have been the same. In April, he told BBC Radio 2 that he quit driving lessons at the height of the success of Oasis, the band he formed with his brother Liam. Manchester rockers became icons of Britpop in the mid-1990s. They have sold tens of millions of albums and filled stadiums across Europe. However, that popularity also had a downside: according to Gallagher, he was harassed a lot by fans during driving lessons.
That the minor infringement ended up with a lawsuit at all could have been due to the British Postal Service. Gallagher reportedly did not respond to police messages due to the postman’s Christmas strike. If Gallagher obtained a driver’s license in the future, he would immediately receive six penalty points for the case. This was reported by the London-based Al-Masaa newspaper.
Gallagher’s manager declined to comment to the BBC.
“Friendly communicator. Music trailblazer. Internet maven. Twitter buff. Social mediaholic.”
