Mario Balotelli blamed the speedometer in his Ferrari as he was banned from driving after being clocked doing 109mph on the motorway.
The Liverpool striker claimed that he did not realise how fast he was travelling because his sports car is calibrated in kilometres rather than miles per hour.
The 24-year-old did not appear in court as he was slapped with a 28 day driving ban and £800 fine.
The Italian international, who earns £110,000-a-week at Anfield, was convicted of speeding in his absence last week by Wirral Magistrates Court.OVER
Today his solicitor Mik Hogan told masgistrates that Balotelli had failed to attend on the previous occasion because he had not received the court summons.
He said the first the star knew of his court date was when he received an adjournment notice in the post.
Balotelli was pulled over by police shortly after midnight on December 3, last year on the M62 at Tarbock Island, Merseyside.
He had been driving his high performance left-hand drive Ferrari.
The court heard that super-car’s speedometer is calibrated in kilometres per hour – and he had not been aware that the speed had crept up so much.
Balotelli was fined £800, ordered to pay an £80 victim surcharge and £100 court costs.
His solicitor asked the court for 28 days for payment to be made.
