David and Victoria Beckham’s youngest son, Cruz, has had his driving licence revoked just two years after passing his test, as he was caught speeding in a 20mph zone
Cruz Beckham has lost his driving licence just two years after passing his test, according to reports. The 20-year-old was caught speeding on two occasions, including one in a 20 mph zone.
David and Victoria Beckham’s youngest son is said to have racked up six points for his speeding offences. One such speeding offence is thought to have taken place on 2 September, as at the time, Cruz took to Instagram to share that he’d “just got done for doing 24 in a 20”.
He is reportedly “gutted” that his licence has been revoked so soon after getting it, and he will now have to reapply for a provisional licence and pass bot the theory and practical driving tests to be allowed on the roads again.

A source told the Mail: “Cruz is gutted about it. It was a couple of speeding tickets which are so easy to come by these days with 20mph zones. It’s infuriating but he seems to have accepted it and taken it on the chin.”
According to the DVLA, if a driver gets six or more penalty points within two years of passing their test, their licence is immediately revoked and made void.
This will be especially devastating for Cruz, who is thought to be a car fanatic, much like his father. David Beckham has been accused of speeding as well.
In 2018, he was almost prosecuted for going 59mph in a 4-mph zone, but his lawyer was able to fight the allegation on a technicality. Celebrity lawyer Nick Freeman, nicknamed Mr Loophole, successfully argued the speeding notice arrived one day too late. As such, the former footballer did not face prosecution.
The lawyer also helped David overturn an eight-month driving ban in 1999. David was initially banned for eight months and issued a fine of £800 after driving 76mph in a 50mph zone, but his lawyer argued there were special circumstances as his client was trying shirk paparazzi.
Cruz’s brother Brooklyn has also sparked concern over dangerous driving after he posted a video on social media of himself speeding through LA on a motorbike without a helmet. Viewers urged him to drive in more protective clothing, warning that “a few likes on Instagram is not worth getting killed for”.
Brooklyn and Cruz don’t appear to be on speaking terms at the minute, as the elder Beckham is embroiled in a feud with his family. He is thought to be open to ending the animosity but only if his parents publicly apologise to him and his wife, Nicola Peltz.
A source told The Mail: “There is an obvious first step which would be a public acknowledgement [by David and Victoria] of what they did, and an apology. It cannot be a performative thing. There is no realistic chance of a reconciliation without that happening first.”
The Mirror has contacted Cruz’s representatives for comment.
