Silly old bat
I am sure most people would use whatever reasoning they could to avoid a ban if it is possible. I am far from a Robbie Savage fan by the way!
As it wasn't an automatic banning offence, the only way he would be banned is under the totting up of points. Hurrying home to kids is not a special reason.
If there is a totting up offence then special reasons may include, a carer for a disabled person, or loss of a job.
