Former Top Gear presenter Richard Hammond was caught speeding twice in 20 days while driving a Porsche and a Bentley in Herefordshire, and has now been fined and given penalty points by magistrates in Shropshire, according to West Mercia Police and court records.

Documents from Telford magistrates' court show Hammond was first stopped by a handheld speed camera shortly before 1pm on 2 December last year, when his Porsche Taycan Cross Turismo was recorded at 68mph in a 50mph limit on the A40 at Pencraig in Herefordshire.
