The Liverpool striker was due to attend Wirral Magistrates court today, having been convicted in his absence last week.
The 24-year-old Italian did not appear though, with his solicitor Mike Hogan telling magistrates he had not received the summons.
And the first Balotelli knew of his court date was when he received an adjournment notice. Balotelli was pulled over by police shortly after midnight on December 3, last year on the M62 at Tarbock Island, Merseyside.
He had been driving his high performance left-hand drive Ferrari. The court heard that super-car's speedometer is calibrated in kilometres per hour - and he had not been aware that the speed had crept up so much.
