Richard Hammond has faced more legal action with a second court appearance.
A company owned by the former Top Gear presenter was ordered to pay a financial penalty after a case was heard by magistrates in Worcester earlier this month.
The Smallest Cog Limited, which operates from premises in Beech Lane on the Rotherwas Industrial Estate, admitted failing to provide information that could identify the driver of a Ford vehicle linked to an alleged offence.
As a result of the guilty plea, the court imposed a fine on the business along with a victim surcharge.

According to Companies House records, the firm’s registered address is in London. However, its day-to-day operations are run from its Herefordshire workshop, where it provides a variety of restoration and repair services.
Among the work carried out by the business are bodywork repairs, mechanical maintenance, paintwork and vehicle refinishing.
Viewers may recognise the company from Richard Hammond’s Workshop on Discovery+, which has already been commissioned for both a sixth and seventh series.
Mr Hammond, who is listed as the company’s sole director, launched The Smallest Cog in 2021.

The venture was established after Neil, Anthony and Andrew Greenhouse, long-time specialists who had worked on the broadcaster’s cars, were at risk of losing their workshop.
Stepping in to help secure the future of the operation, the television presenter founded the business, which has since become the focus of the popular documentary series.
Last month, it emerged that Mr Hammond was fined £999 for speeding offences at the end of 2025, around the same time he took control of the firm.
The TV star was at the wheel of a Porsche when he broke the speed limit on December 2 last year before he was caught out again just 20 days later while driving a Bentley.
West Mercia Police brought two prosecutions against Mr Hammond, putting forward the speed camera images of him driving the cars in Herefordshire to prove the offences.
