Colin Farrell fined for speeding in Bath

London (ANI): Colin Farrell has been asked to pay fine after getting busted for over speeding in Bath. The actor was caught driving Range Rover at 45 miles per hour in a 30 mph zone in the early hours of the day. He was to appear at Bath Magistrates Court to face two charges, the speeding offence and failing to provide information to identify himself as the driver of the car.

He has sent a letter of apology, as he could not show up for the hearing. "I sincerely apologise for not having responded to the original notice of intended prosecution as the initial notice and further correspondence in regard to the speeding offence were delivered to Ealing Studios," the Daily Star quoted him as saying the letter.

He added: "I am, and have been, residing in the United States and therefore have not received or been aware of the information regarding this offence. The Range Rover was registered at the company address and therefore the correspondence was delivered there. I look forward to resolving this matter with the court's assistance and once again apologise for the lapse in correspondence due to the mishandling of address material by the production company at Ealing Studios."

Farrell needs to pay a fine of 60 pounds in the next 21 days apart from pay 35 pounds in costs and 15 victim pounds surcharge.
