Pete Doherty appeared at Gloucester Crown Court this morning to plead not guilty to a dangerous driving charge.
After entering his plea, Judge William Hart told Doherty that he will stand trial shortly before Christmas on December 21.
The trial relates to an incident on June 11 when the Babyshambles star was pulled over by police shortly after a gig at the Gloucester Guildhall.
According to gloucestershire.co.uk, Judge Hart told the court that the trial should last two to three days.
Other charges of drink driving, driving without insurance and having no licence have been committed to the court and will be dealt with after the dangerous driving trial.
Defying his reputation, Pete arrived at court 20 minutes early today and signed autographs for fans outside.
