Jamiroquai star gets six-month driving ban

Pop star Jay Kay was today banned from driving for six months after being caught doing 105mph on a notorious road.

The singer, who fronts chart-topping band Jamiroquai, was stopped by police after overtaking a string of vehicles on the A9 near Perth earlier this year.

The 34-year-old admitted the charge by letter in July but was ordered to appear today for sentencing.

Sheriff Robert McCreadie told Jay Kay his conduct was “entirely unacceptable”, disqualified him from driving for six months and imposed a fine of £750 (€1,106).

Jay Kay had been enjoying a break at his Highland getaway in Gairloch, Ross-shire, and was travelling back to his 75-acre estate in Horsenden, Bucks, when he was clocked exceeding the 70mph speed limit in his four-wheel-drive car on February 26 this year.
