Steven Graham, representing Story, said he knew the road well and the speed limit, describing the offence as “a momentary lapse of concentration”.
"Marcia Reid-Fotheringham, one of the magistrates, asked Story if he could employ a driver if he was banned.
He replied: “Yes, but I talk business in the car to clients and I would feel uneasy with someone in the car with me."
No wonder he lacked concentration if he was talking to clients either in the car or on the phone
