TheStandard said Birmingham magistrates court listened to Coogan’s plea and handed him five penalty points, leaving him one short of a ban. These include camera, sound, and lighting technicians, riggers, and others on modest wages who would face cancellations and financial hardship, as rescheduling such projects is often highly complicated.”
