  1. What, a guy who disrespects laws designed to ensure the safety of his fellow British Citizens on the road? Yeah, a criminal. Really good role model. A man who cannot control his aggressive impulses is no man at all, and a boxer should know about this completely. Of course, some people see fast car driving as virile and manly. But then there's also a subculture of people who like to get drunk and fight people, which can also be seen as virile and manly. Both are irresponsible and pathetic.

    From Wikipedia:

    Motoring offences and incidents

    On 23 October 2007, Khan was convicted of careless driving at Bolton Crown Court and given a six-month driving ban and a £1000 fine. The conviction related to an incident that occurred on 2 March 2006 in the centre of Bolton, when Khan's car hit and broke the leg of a pedestrian who was running on a pelican crossing trying to avoid cars. Immediately prior to the accident Khan had swerved around a line of stopped cars and went through a traffic light that had just turned red. He was cleared of dangerous driving[37] and the pedestrian received an interim payment of £40,000.[38] Khan was also summoned to appear in court in Rochdale on 26 October 2007, accused of travelling in excess of 140 mph on the M62 motorway on 31 December 2006. He failed to appear and the case was adjourned to 2 November 2007, with the District Judge warning that he would issue an arrest warrant if the accused did not appear by then. He was also charged with not producing his driving licence and insurance certificate.[39] On 7 January 2008 Khan was fined £1000 and banned for 42 days for the speeding offence.[40]

    On 12 July 2009, Khan was once again involved in a motoring incident, this time a collision with a young cyclist. However, no action will be taken against Khan after police concluded that he was not to blame for the incident in Moor Lane following interviews with a number of witnesses.[41]

  2. How can this man be good role model when he partakes in pre martial relations with women?
