A charge of failing to give information to police on the driver’s identity was withdrawn.
Grealish did not appear before JPs in Worcester.
He was fined £666 and told to pay £376 in costs.
His lawyer said: “He can afford to pay that figure.”
The Prem ace has a chequered driving history.
He was caught on camera staggering away from his Range Rover in March 2020 in Dickens Heath, Birmingham, wearing odd slippers and a blue hoodie.
The former Aston Villa midfielder had earlier attended a lockdown party before he mounted a kerb and collided with a Mercedes and a Citroen.
He was hit with a nine-month ban and fined £82,000.
Magistrates in Birmingham were also shown dashcam footage of a second incident in October that year when an unmarked police car followed Grealish’s Range Rover on the M43 as it travelled at speeds of up to 98mph.
The court was told Grealish was late for training and was worried he was setting a bad example to his teammates.
He later pleaded guilty to two charges of careless driving and was only allowed back on the road in September 2022.
At the time of those offences, Grealish already had six points on his licence from a previous motorway offence in 2018 when he was caught speeding on the M42.
