Former Leicester City star Robbie Savage has avoided a driving ban - because he's so hated!

Former Leicester City, Birmingham and Blackburn Rovers midfielder Savage has avoided a driving ban for clocking up 99mph on the motorway after his lawyer claimed the pundit is unable to share public transport with football fans who hate him, reports the Daily Mail.

Savage could have been banned for up to 28 days but was instead given a meagre £600 fine, despite a possible £2,500 penalty.
