Licut-Colonel Charles Jarrott, the most famous man in motor racing thirty years ago, a founder and past chairman of the Automobile Association, and the first man to keep up a speed of more than 80 m.p.h. on a long stretch, was fined £5 and ordered to pay £7 costs at West London Police Court recently for careless driving,

Colonel Jarrott declined and drove off. The taxi driver again stopped him and a policeman was called.
