Comedian Steve Coogan will stand trial today over a speeding offence which could see him banned from the road.

The 46-year-old is accused of failing to tell police who was driving his car when it was caught doing more than 30mph in Kingsway, Hove, East Sussex, on October 12 last year.

In May, Coogan, who lives in Ovingdean, Brighton, entered not guilty plea through his solicitor Andrew Bishop to speeding and failing to notify police who was driving his Range Rover.
