England and Chelsea football captain John Terry has been fined £100 for not telling police who was driving when his car was clocked speeding in Surrey.

The 25-year-old's vehicle was caught going over the 50mph limit by a speed camera on the A3 Esher bypass, near Chelsea FC's Cobham training ground.

He was then charged with not providing details as to the driver's identity.

He was not at a Guildford magistrates' hearing in July, and was also not present for his sentencing on Friday.

Terry had three points put on his driving licence and was also ordered to pay £200 court costs.

The speeding incident took place on 18 October last year.

"Despite several letters Mr Terry failed to respond with details of who was driving on the day," a spokesman for Surrey Police's safety camera partnership said.
