Raheem Sterling appeared at Basingstoke Magistrates' Court on Tuesday and pleaded guilty to three offences, with his defence barrister conceding that the dangerous-driving case was a 'top category case'.
The 31-year-old former England international pleaded guilty to dangerous driving, possession of nitrous oxide for wrongful inhalation and failing to provide a specimen after prosecutors said he zigzagged across the M25, M3, A327 and Minley Road while inhaling gas from a balloon before crashing his £270,000 Lamborghini Urus on 28 May.
