LONDON, England (Reuters) -- Car-mad pop star Jay Kay has been banned from driving for six months and fined 750 pounds for speeding.
The front man for chart-toppers Jamiroquai admitted driving at 105 mph in February on the southbound carriage of the notorious A9 near Perth in central Scotland.
Kay -- famed for his passion for sports cars, usually Lamborghinis -- has previous motoring convictions, but does not always need to be driving to get into trouble.
In May 2002 he was involved in a street brawl after he found photographers leaning against his newly delivered Bentley.
Jamiroquai burst onto the British music scene in 1992 with the single "When You Gonna Learn?"
The disco-funk group subsequently enjoyed chart success with their first album "Emergency On Planet Earth."

JT Erm, so if you could categorise it, what type of style of jazz would you categorise it as?
SD Well for me, young lion, I would say, it was Acid skiffle. ?? Unlike the will an' his dog ??
JT Great. Revolution: Hypocrisy.
[pause before SD begins his best efforts at a Jamiroquai impression...]
SD "I was walkin' down the wroad the other day, I went to a shop an' I said, a little piece of chocolate, when I got outside an' sat in my car, I opened the chocolate, and looked at that bar, it had melted away, all over my hand, I said ?? gosh that bar??, I said I don't need no melted chocolate on the seats of my Ferrawri, so I gone inside my glove compartment, gone inside my head..."
