Gerrard Tyrrell, mitigating, said his client was travelling slowly and has “no recollection of the day in question or this particular incident”.He added: “There is no excuse for what took place but his view is as he cannot remember… he’s going to plead guilty and that’s what he’s done.”Beckham was also fined 750, ordered to pay 100 to prosecution costs and a 75 surcharge fee within seven days.
