Two out of three Top Gear hosts have been suspended from driving in France for three months after being caught, somewhat unsurprisingly, speeding.

The incident occurred while Jeremy Clarkson and Richard Hammond were on location, filming the final sequence of a road trip DVD from Venice, Italy to Pau, France.

Clarkson was in an Aston Martin Vanquish Centenary Edition with Hammond behind in a Porsche 911 GT3.

Under the false impression they were in a 130km/h zone, Clarkson was travelling at 141km/h, Hammond at 143km/h. Unfortunately for the pair, the speed limit was in fact 90km/h.

An on-the-spot fine comprised the contents of their wallets with the two Brits then losing their licences and being banned from driving in France for three months.
