Former Top Gear host Richard Hammond has been fined £999 after being caught speeding twice within three weeks in Herefordshire, magistrates have heard. The television personality, known for his role on the BBC motoring show, admitted the offences. The incidents occurred in the space of 21 days, though specific locations and dates were not detailed in reports. Hammond was ordered to pay the fine, along with costs and a victim surcharge. The case was heard at a magistrates' court, where he was also penalized with points on his driving license. Hammond, who co-hosted Top Gear alongside Jeremy Clarkson and James May, has had previous motoring-related legal issues. Neither report provided further comment from Hammond or his representatives. The fines are standard for the speeding offenses committed. This incident adds to the public record of the presenter, who remains a prominent figure in automotive entertainment.
