Duff Does Not Escape THIS Time!

He was caught doing 101.2mph in his Range Rover on a 70mph stretch of the A19 at Cramlington.

Magistrates have ordered the 28-year-old player to come before the court to face his sentence.

The case comes after Duff twice escaped prosecution, despite vehicles belonging to him being caught on camera breaking speed limits.

Jeremy Forsberg of the Northumbria Safer Roads Initiative said: "This is a serious offence and travelling at that speed is extremely dangerous.

"He is a role model for a lot of people and it is so ludicrous to be driving at this speed. I just hope the punishment fits the crime.

"Road safety groups work tirelessly to change people's attitudes towards the way they drive and this behaviour undermines all the work these people do.

"His vehicles have now been involved in three cases and all have been dangerous incidents.

"It can only be 100 per cent proved he was driving in this latest case but, in relation to all of them, anyone travelling at such speeds is putting the lives of themselves and other road users at serious risk."
