The former England international, 31, made the confession during an appearance at Basingstoke Magistrates’ Court on Tuesday.
For the fashion-conscious, we can tell that Sterling, who comes from Berkshire, arrived at the court in black pants, black shoes and a dark top.
Hampshire and Isle of Wight Constabulary previously stated that the charges followed a collision with one car on the M3 southbound, near the Minley junction, on May 28.
Police said that no other vehicles were involved and that no injuries were reported.
After he was first arrested, his representative said that in recent years he had felt “worthless” and “forgotten.”
The player scored 20 goals in 82 appearances for England and helped Gareth Southgate’s side to the semi-finals of the 2018 World Cup and the final of Euro 2020.
He came through the academy at QPR before moving to Liverpool, where he made his senior team debut.
Sterling joined Manchester City in 2015 and won four Premier League titles, five League Cups and the FA Cup in 2019.
He left for Chelsea in 2022, but after falling out of favor, he spent the 2024/25 season on loan at Arsenal.
After leaving Stamford Bridge, Sterling joined Feyenoord on a short-term contract in February and played eight games in the Dutch top flight.
In the 2021 Queen’s Birthday Honours list, he was named an MBE for his efforts towards racial equality in sport, amid controversy surrounding English fans booing players who took a knee at matches as a sign of intolerance.
“Happy Erling, Happy life”
