Cruz Beckham has reportedly had his licence revoked after receiving his second speeding ticket less than two years after passing his driving test.
The 20-year-old son of Sir David Beckham and Lady Victoria Beckham is understood to have committed his latest offence on September 2 (local time).
After being issuedwith the ticket, he posted on Instagram that he had “just got done for doing 24 in a 20” (24 miles-per-hour or 38km/h in a 20-miles-per-hour zone, or 32km/h).
“Games gone. Myself, I feel very safe,” he added in the same post, quoting the 2025 Wes Anderson film The Phoenician Scheme.
The Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency revokes a person’s licence if they have six or more penalty points within two years of passing their test.
“Cruz is gutted about it,” a source close to him told the Mail on Sunday.
“It was a couple of speeding tickets which are so easy to come by these days with 20-miles-per-hour zones. It’s infuriating but he seems to have accepted it and taken it on the chin.”

Latest figures show close to 500,000 speeding tickets were issued for drivers caught breaking the limit on roads with 20-miles-per-hour speed limits in 2024, a rise of two thirds over the previous 12 months.
Cruz Beckham will have to reapply for a provisional licence and pass both his theory and practical tests again before he is allowed to get behind the wheel.

Beckham has also faced issues on the road after he was caught driving a loaned Bentley at 59 miles-per-hour (94km/h) in a 40 miles-per-hour (64km/h) zone in January 2018.
Nick Freeman, his lawyer, known as Mr Loophole, helped him to avoid prosecution and during proceedings said the speeding notice was a day late.
But the former Manchester United star was handed a six-month ban in May 2019 after he received a second penalty for using his mobile phone while behind the wheel.
A member of the public captured the moment by taking a picture of the star as he drove his Bentley in “slowly moving” traffic in central London.
