AceShowbiz - Is arguably an expert in playing with the ball in the field, David Beckham apparently isn't quite a good driver. The soccer stud has on Tuesday afternoon, April 8 got a traffic ticket while driving in Hollywood.
The father of three young sons was trying to make an illegal right turn off Sunset Boulevard in West Hollywood when a U.S. motorcycle-riding sheriff's deputy witnessed his act and quickly pulled him over. The 32-year-old LA Galaxy player was pulled over in his Cadillac Escalade SUV.
David, according to a witness, was hit with an 80 pound sterling on-the-spot fine after a short telling-off. He, moreover, was also warned that he could risk a point on his driver's license unless he goes to traffic school.
Beckham spokesman Glenn Lehrman did confirm the unfortunate to The Associated Press, saying "There was a traffic incident that took place. It was a minor offense and David complied with the officer." Lehrman refused to comment further though, simply adding that no one else was in David's car at the time.
