Dennis receives six-month driving ban
McLaren Group executive chairman Ron Dennis has been banned from driving on the road for six months.
Dennis this week pleaded guilty at Woking Magistrates Court to failing to stop for a red light in Bagshot last September. The three points he received for the offence subsequently pushed his total up to 12, which resulted in him being given an automatic six-month ban. [Dennis defended himself in the hearing by claming that he should be spared a driving ban because of the inconvenience it would cause to his work and family life, and that he had driven through the light to avoid collision with a friend's car which was following close behind
BTW is this one of those photo-enforced tickets?
Those things piss me off.May the forza be with you

So now Ron needs a chauffeur. And McLaren just re-hired Pedro De La Rosa. Coincidence?

Sucker! Another example of Ron's poor decision-making skills (see: China 2007).

That is where the part about the guy that forced him to run the light being a friend starts to sound contrived.
It’s too convenient of an excuse to have a material witness in a case where there was no accident, and only a friend to back up his word and take the bullet for him.
But maybe it's true, Ron would never lie.May the forza be with you
