A 21-year-old 'Rich Kid of Instagram' has been spared a driving ban after he was caught doing more than double the speed limit.

Aleem Iqbal, who uses the name 'Lord Aleem' on social media, was seen speeding through the City of London in his father's £120,000 Porsche 911.

Police speed cameras showed he was travelling at 46mph in a 20mph zone shortly before 10pm on December 5, 2015.

Iqbal, of Westminster, had six points added to his licence. He already has three for using his phone while driving. He was also ordered to pay £650 at City of London Magistrates' Court.

Iqbal, who runs luxury car rental firm Platinum Executive Travel with his father, Saleem, did not attend court and was not represented.

PC Neil Hossack told the court: 'Iqbal was caught using Speed Analysis Cameras travelling on London Wall between the junctions of Moorgate and Wood Street.'

Iqbal's social media feeds are filled with photos and videos showing him and his friends in a string of supercars. He has more than 530,000 followers on Instagram, 60,000 on Twitter, 270,00 on YouTube and 170,000 on Facebook.
