"Aston Villa" team captain Jack Grealish has been banned from driving for nine months. The footballer was also fined £82,499 for causing a car accident in March with his £80,000 "Range Rover" brand car. The 25-year-old English national team player was sentenced in Birmingham court on Tuesday. The footballer admitted his guilt for damaging two cars in the accident, and he will have to compensate the owners for all the damage incurred. The accident occurred on March 29, a few days after the declaration of the coronavirus pandemic, so the footballer had to stay at home, and the judge considered it a serious offense. Once the driving ban is lifted, the forward will have to retake the driving test."
