A music mogul caught speeding for the fourth time has been spared a driving ban. Company CEO David Pichilingi, 59, had faced disqualification after he drove his Range Rover Sport at 37mph in a 30mph zone.
But the entertainment boss, whose firm delivers music festivals, successfully argued in court he would suffer ''exceptional hardship''. Pichilingi said his autistic daughter is heavily reliant on him driving her to school, staff would lose their jobs and he wouldn't be able to drive his mother and mother-in-law to hospital appointments.
He also argued mum Eileen Fenlon would not get her regular trips around the seaside resort of Blackpool to see venues where she used to perform. A letter from Sound City’s accounts manager was also handed to the magistrates, which told of how staff were worried about losing their jobs and being unable to pay their mortgages.
