## Summary

Greg Dyke, the former BBC director general and Football Association chairman, has been fined after exceeding the 20mph limit on a road near his home in south-west London. He did not contest the offence, and the case matters chiefly as a report of a driving penalty involving a prominent broadcasting and football executive.

The speeding took place on A205 Mortlake Road on 6 June. Lavender Hill Magistrates’ Court reverted the charge to a fixed penalty: Dyke was fined £72, ordered to pay a £28 surcharge and given three penalty points, with no costs. Dyke, now 79, led the BBC until resigning in 2004 after the Hutton Report, and chaired the FA from 2013 to 2016.
