We didn’t realise that Louis Tomlinson was a bit of a bad boy but it seems the One Direction singer has gotten himself on the wrong side of the law….and not for the first time either.

The hunk was driving home at the weekend, when he was pulled over by police and informed that he had been speeding. The law enforcement officers then gave him an £80 fine – which of course he will have no difficulty in affording – and added three penalty points to his driving licence.

Louis was returning from V Festival and it’s thought that his long term girlfriend Eleanor Calder was with him in the vehicle.

He has vowed to keep the speed down in future, as it’s reported that the 1D star is worried about losing his licence and being unable to visit the lady in his life, when she returns to University in Manchester.

A source told The Sun:

“Louis told friends he’s learnt his lesson and will be extra careful from now on. His girlfriend Eleanor Calder is at uni in Manchester and he drives up to see her so he doesn’t want a ban.”

Of course this isn’t Louis’ first caution about his driving. The 1D hunk was also cautioned for reckless driving by American police last year, when he and his bandmates were shooting a music video in LA.

At the time he explained:

I got pulled over by the US police. They thought I was all over the place.

“The officer goes: ‘Listen, man, I can shut this thing down if you carry on driving like this. You’re driving like a maniac.’ And I was like: ‘Man, put the gun down. I don’t want no trouble.’ ”

Do you think Louis has learned his lesson? Should he have been more careful, especially with Eleanor in the car? Leave your comments below….
