Kylie's roadie dodges driving ban
Pop babe Kylie Minogue’s roadie escaped speeding charges on Tuesday when English judges let him off to tour with the sexy singer.
Robert Cole risked losing his licence, which already had six penalty points on it, when he was caught doing 66 miles per hour in a 30 miles per hour limit zone near his Sherringham, Norfolk home in January.
Cole was charged a £270 (€392) fine, six points on his license and an official warning when judges heard that a ban would snatch away his chance to work with the Antipodean pop star on her forthcoming Show Girl tour.
Cole, 23, is now free to transport Kylie's stage equipment around for her three-month tour of Europe, thanks to the pity of the magistrates.
Road safety charity Brake is outraged. A statement says: "This shows there is one rule for the public and another for people like footballers - and even pop stars’ roadies."
