It is the fourth time in recent years that Mr Balls has landed himself in trouble behind the wheel.

Last year, he received three points for driving through a red light on the Embankment in London.

He was also been caught speeding in West Yorkshire, for which he paid a fine and attended a speed awareness course rather than accept penalty points.

He was clocked driving at 56mph in a 50mph zone in his constituency.

And in 2010, Mr Balls admitted 'stupidity' after being caught talking on his mobile phone while driving.

Police have decided to prosecute Ed Balls for driving away from a crash, it emerged today.

The Shadow Chancellor revealed he will be charged over the incident in a blog on his website posted today.

Mr Balls bumped into another car when trying to turn his car round 'in a tight spot' in his constituency.

But instead of alerting the owner of the damaged black Peugeot 306, Mr Balls drove off. He said that he had no idea he had caused any damage.

Pictures at the time showed Mr Balls’ ageing Ford Mondeo estate clearly showing scratch marks on the bumper, but his spokesman insisted they were the result of police taking a paint sample from the vehicle.
