Man City star Toure evades driving ban after doing 100mph

Manchester City midfielder Yaya Toure has avoided having his licence suspended, despite being clocked doing more than 100mph on the M6.

Toure was instead slapped with six penalty points after admitting to speeding in his Porsche 911 on May 20, 2015.

The Ivorian was represented in Burton Magistrates Court by his solicitor Gwyn Lewis, who said the Premier League star had apologised for his actions.

"The car comes from Germany, has a German registration, rather than a normal registration and unfortunately for my client it was a vehicle which had I think not got the correct speedometer - it was showing kilometres [per hour] in terms of miles," Mr Lewis said.

"That isn't other than a point of interest. He knew he was going too fast."
