David Beckham was seen arriving at Eurostar station, to join wife Victoria in Paris, instead of going to court for his speeding fine.

The former footballer lost a lost a bid to get his speeding trial thrown out of court today after his lawyer claimed the legal notice arrived too late.

But he was not in court when a judge dismissed a submission by Nick Freeman who claimed it would be unsafe to allow these proceedings to continue because of what he said was a lack of admissible prosecution evidence.

Rather, the father-of-four was seen arriving at Kings Cross station to catch a Eurostar – where the services provide trains to Paris and other nearby European cities.

Meanwhile, in London, District Judge Barbara Barnes told Mr Freeman, dubbed Mr Loophole, a tribunal could reasonably convict the former England footballer on the evidence and ruled there was a case to answer.

David is accused of driving a borrowed Bentley at 59mph in a 40mph zone on the A40 in Paddington shortly after 5.30pm on 23 January.

The trial at Wimbledon Magistrates Court heard from four witnesses on Thursday morning regarding the sending of a notice of intended prosecution, which is said to have arrived a day outside the statutory 14-day window.

Mr. Freeman was fighting the charge on the basis that the notice, sent on 2 February, arrived at Bentley Motors on 7 February, a day outside the statutory window and was therefore defective.

In his submission, he told the court: If the Crown cant prove that the letter was sent by first class post then the concept that it arrives in two working days goes out of the window.

Prosecutor Charles Royle said the letter was posted on 2 February and argued it was within the time limit.
