Jesse Lingard, a former Manchester United and England star, has been fined $143 for riding an electric scooter in South Korea without a license
The South Korean police said this on Thursday.
The 31-year-old midfielder, who now plays for FC Seoul, was “investigated on Wednesday and was subsequently fined 190,000 won”, an official at the Korean National Police Agency said.
In an Instagram post earlier this week, Lingard said he was unaware of South Korea’s regulations on electric scooters, including having to wear a helmet.
“Anyone visiting South Korea, obviously you have to check the rules,” he said.
“It can be dangerous. Safety first, you know for everyone, helmets on. And obviously, I won’t do that again.”
Lingard was last year banned from driving for 18 months after being caught drink-driving in his expensive super car in Manchester, UK media had reported.
