Paul Hollywood is convicted of speeding after police and court accounts describe an emergency dash on the M25 in which he is said to have driven at very high speeds while taking a sick cat to a veterinary appointment. According to reporting, officers said Hollywood reached speeds of around 100mph on the motorway despite heavy traffic and damp road conditions. Other court-related details reported that he was driving a Land Rover Defender when he was recorded at speeds reported as high as the mid- to low-100 mph range. The Independent reports Hollywood explains he was rushing “to get sick cat to [the] vet,” while the Daily Mail reports the court heard he allegedly drove aggressively during the episode, including tailgating other cars, in order to move other vehicles out of the fast lane. The reports describe the incident as occurring on the M25 and frame it as a high-speed journey made for an animal emergency. Across the coverage, the central points are that Hollywood is convicted for the speeding offence, the incident involves motorway driving at around or above 100mph, and the stated reason is transporting a sick cat to a vet.
