Stormzy Fined for Using Phone While Driving £400,000 Ferrari
The rapper admitted setting a route on his phone and received three penalty points after a judge added costs and a victim surcharge.
- Rapper Stormzy was fined £866 at Croydon Magistrates Court for not having proper control of his £400,000 Ferrari Purosangue after admitting to using his phone to enter a map location while in stationary traffic last November.
- Metropolitan Police constable Glen Lambert spotted the driver typing into a map application, noting he was "distracted and no longer in proper control," prompting the stop near Stormzy's Kingston home.
- Magistrate Lynn Keane imposed a £533 fine, £120 in costs, and a £213 victim surcharge; the Single Justice Procedure on May 7 added three penalty points to his licence.
- This conviction marks the second time the musician has been penalised for phone use while driving; in January 2025, Stormzy received a nine-month driving ban after police caught him using a phone in West Kensington.
- Court data shows 1,195 motorists were prosecuted in the last month for similar mobile phone or control offences, resulting in 58 driving bans and fines totalling almost £180,000 across the region.

Stormzy has been fined more than £500 after he was caught using a mobile phone behind the wheel of his Ferrari in West Kensington.
The 32-year-old from Croydon was pulled over last November after officers spotted him using the map application. It's a second driving offence for the Brit Award winner, who was banned for nine months for a similar offence in Kingston last year.
