Katie Price finds herself in trouble with the law – again

Taxi for Katie...

It seems like Katie Price won’t be jumping behind the wheel of her beloved pink Range Rover any time soon.

The Loose Women star has been banned from driving for the second time, after police caught her travelling at more than 60mph near her country house.

And unfortunately for Katie, she reportedly failed to notify police when the ticket came through – and was then charged with failing to provide driver details.

The incident happened around eight months ago, when Katie was driving over the 50mph speed limit.

As well as the six-month driving ban, Katie was slapped with six points on her driving licence.

Brighton Magistrates court issued the ruling on Friday night, after Katie had failed to make clear if she was the offending driver.

And the 39-year-old model didn’t attend the hearing in person.

To add insult to injury, Katie was also hit with a £750 fine, and ordered to pay £200 in costs and a £75 surcharge.

In an Instagram Live video last week, she told fans: “I’ve probably lost my licence as I have to go to court again.”

Katie probably has the number of a local taxi service to hand, as she was also struck with a driving ban in 2012.

In that instance, she told the court she thought her exes had been driving the car at the times of the infringements.

And she also said she missed seeing the paperwork for the tickets, as she never opens her own post.

However, District Judge Julia Newton, sitting at Bromley Magistrates court, had no sympathy.

She said at the time: “If she delegates duties relating to post, while it may seem draconian, if that system fails, responsibility rests with her.”
