Former Top Gear presenter James May is appearing at Lavender Hill Magistrates' Court in South London to answer charges he didn't insure his classic car in July last year. The star arrived to the proceedings on a bicycle. The 63-year-old wore blue jeans, a bright yellow shirt and coat and a black and silver cycle helmet as he was pictured securing his bike outside the courthouse. He seemed unfazed by his imminent appearance in the dock and raised a smile for photographers as he made his way inside.
May first came to prominence hosting the long running BBC motoring show alongside Jeremy Clarkson and Richard Hammond from 2003 until 2015. When that ended he continued to work with the pair on the Grand Tour for Amazon. That ran for six seasonsover almost eight years for premiering on November 18, 2016, and concluding its run with final specials which ran from 2024–2025.
The broadcaster was charged with keeping a motor vehicle which does not meet insurance requirements under his full name James Daniel May and the prosecutor was the DVLA.
