Noel Gallagher of Oasis has been slapped with a penalty for his refusal to disclose the identity of a driver who was caught speeding in his Range Rover. He's been fined over £1,000 and received six penalty points, BBC reports.
Gallagher, who does not have a driver's licence, refused to identify who was driving when the vehicle was caught speeding at 41mph in a 30mph zone in London, UK. He was fined £742 and ordered to pay a victim surcharge of £296, along with £100 in costs.
In a previous interview with BBC Radio 2 in April, Gallagher mentioned that he had given up on learning to drive during Oasis's heyday due to being mobbed by fans during a driving lesson.
"I have had one driving lesson, in the '90s… she [the instructor] said to me, 'if you just indicate and pull over here,' then I pulled over. She got out the car she said, 'I'll be back in a minute'. She came out with her mum, she drove me to her house. Then the local comprehensive bell went and they all came out. This is at the height of Oasis-mania and I was like 'never, never again.'"
