Helen Flanagan Faces Driving Ban After Court Appearance: What You Need to Know
Former Coronation Street star Helen Flanagan found herself in a legal battle today at Wirral Magistrates’ Court. The 34-year-old actress was convicted of two counts of failing to provide information about the driver of her vehicle when required. The charges stem from instances where her Audi Q7 was caught speeding in Liverpool and Sefton on July 10 and 26, 2022.
Could Flanagan Face a Driving Ban?
During the court appearance, Flanagan faced the possibility of a driving ban under the totting up procedure. Each count against her carries six penalty points, potentially leading to disqualification. The outcome of today’s hearing will determine if Flanagan will face this severe consequence.

Flanagan claimed that she believed her boyfriend, Robbie Talbot, had responded to the police notices regarding the speeding incidents.
