I hope he’s got a good defence in court.
Don't think there's any coming back from this. Fergie would have shipped him out the door immediately.
Anderson was fined £329 after being flagged down at 4am. He was one of 160 drivers pulled over in a drink-drive crackdown in the city in the south eastern state of Rio Grande do Sul. Anderson was released when a bodyguard agreed to drive the car for him. A spokesman for the traffic department said: “We can confirm that Anderson was stopped by a control while driving and he refused a breath test. “He was issued with a fine of 957 reals (£329) which he will have to pay.” Under Brazilian law a driver is not obliged to take a test, but they will be issued with a fine and have their licence seized.
It’s not the first time the star – who has played 16 times for Manchester United this season – has got into trouble on the roads. In July 2010, he was pulled unconscious from his Audi R8 after a horror crash driving back from a nightclub in Portugal at 7am. He was recovering from an injury then as well.
MANCHESTER United soccer star Cristiano Ronaldo has been given six points on his driving licence and ordered to pay é1,000 after he was caught speeding.
The Manchester United football player Carlos Tevez has had his £140,000 Bentley seized after it was found he did not have a full UK driving licence, Greater Manchester police said today.
Speed regulations are there for a reason, driving a lamborgini doesn't give you immunity from this. Apparently likes to speed sounds a lot like "boys will be boys" — he is putting people in danger by speeding even though he hasn't caused anyone else harm yet.He’s driving a lambo and apparently likes to speed, there’s no suggestion that he’s caused anyone else any harm - so not sure why so many people are placing hypothetical situations on his shoulders.
The insults in this thread are a bit much, no?
I thought he was caught drunk driving judging by the replies in here - I had to check the title just to be sure !

He’ll get a fine, and the club will probably fine him too. Then he’ll get a driver and things will continue as normal.
He made a stupid mistake, but it’s not the end of the world ffs. Our fans are hyperbolic

is this a serious response? There’s no way you would have the same reaction if somebody like Michael Gove was doing this.
can’t stand stuff like this, bad/illegal/dangerous driving makes my blood boil. Selfish wankers
Would you have the same opinion if he had been caught drink driving, but hadn't caused any harm? Fair enough, if it's a one time thing, chalk it off to the stupidity of youth(although I would never have done such a thing at that age), but being done for 4 driving offences, being banned, and then having the gall to drive around while banned in a Lamborghini, that is absolute idiocy.Obviously I understand that speed regulations are there for a reason. My point was he hasn’t caused harm to anyone else has he? So some of the insults calling him a twat and all the rest is OTT
Saying ‘well he could’ve done this, even though he hasn’t’ is benign, nobody gets prosecuted on the basis of a hypothetical argument. And he won’t either, he’ll get a fine & a suspended sentence with some community service at the most.
He’s an idiot. But some of the responses in here are hyperbolic.

What the hell does Michael Gove have to do with this? Besides I call him an idiot every day.

We would call someone caught drunk driving a dickhead but they may not have hurt anyone either.
Driving while banned is stupid selfish behaviour and deserves to be called such. He's banned for a reason so has already been caught, and ignored the penalties for doing so.
yes I’ve called him idiotic which he is, im not excusing him. I’m saying some of the insults are OTT.
I hope he’s got a good defence in court.
Why though? If I met a friend for a drink or to catch up and they told me they had been banned and then subsequently caught driving again, I would call him a few of the same insults that have been used here.
He's acted like a bit of a selfish dickhead, and deserves to be called the same. It will pass(unless he keeps doing it)
I'm sure 99% of people have sped to some degree at some point in their lives, yes. It seems as though he has been caught speeding 4 times in the last 18 months though, with at least 1 recorded being nearly 1.5 times the limit. He has also just been caught driving while banned, so it's pretty safe to say he is not your average driver that does 57 in a 50 without realising. Speeding impairs your ability to handle a situation on a given road, and driving while banned(and therefor uninsured) could cause major problems for anyone he was in an accident with, if he decided to be an arsehole about it. It's not like he'd forgotten to renew his insurance, he willfully got in a car, knowing he is banned from driving. Proper arsehole behaviour.Not sure how the two scenarios can be compared because driving while drunk impairs your ability to drive, period.
Speeding is an idiotic thing to do, obviously, but everyone is lying to themselves if they’re suggesting they haven’t driven faster than 70 in a 70mph zone.
Also in this instance he hasn’t been caught speeding, that was last year wasn’t it? He’s been flagged for driving without insurance.
Are footballers really just rich manchildren who can’t even sort their own car insurance out? I knew exactly how car insurance worked when I was 16 and looking forward to learning how to drive
Oh, yeah, I agree that it's stupid but hardly justifies more vile name-calling.Obviously I understand that speed regulations are there for a reason. My point was he hasn’t caused harm to anyone else has he? So some of the insults calling him a twat and all the rest is OTT

While some of the names he’s being called are unnecessary.Scum bag? Wow. People love to hate.

Don't subscribe to that line of thought. If players are stupid enough to drive uninsured and while disqualified something has gone seriously wrong. And we shouldn't accept it.Young dumb footballer, what's new?
Pay the fine and get on with it.
He had no insurance because he was disqualified - so that puts other drivers at risk. There's no excuse at all, and as he's earning a huge amount of money he could have afforded a driver.Not sure how the two scenarios can be compared because driving while drunk impairs your ability to drive, period.

What does the or change? It was a ridiculous post that I can’t believe I’m wasting my time on.Can you read ? Did you not see the or, wow some people are amazing on this forum can’t belive I’m wasting a comment on you.
If i was earning that money, I'd never drive again, just hire a driver.
I need therapy for abiding by the law and not driving dangerously? Righteo bud.Dude, you need therapy.
