His latest ban came last week after he failed to appear at Cannock magistrates’ court, Staffs.
An insider said: “Being banned from driving on four occasions is quite something.
“He’s lucky to not land a longer disqualification.
“Jermaine was a no-show in court and they slapped him with an order to keep away from the wheel.”
In 2005, Pennant was jailed for three months for drink-driving while banned from the road.
He then got an eight-week suspended prison term in 2012 — while at Stoke City — after drink-driving while banned in Sale, Gtr Manchester.
