Benteke, who already had nine points on his licence for previous offences, was handed a 12-month road ban at London's Lavender Hill Magistrates Court on Friday.
Chairwoman of the bench Pamela Stokes said the 28-year-old Belgian international, who did not attend the hearing, had "fallen far short" of being a role model to fans.
Benteke was given six penalty points for each of the three new speeding offences which were dealt with by the court on Friday.
He was also ordered to pay £800 in fines for each of these offences, along with £100 in costs for each matter and a £80 surcharge.
Benteke apologised through his lawyer Quentin Hunt for not attending the hearing as it clashed with a commitment to be with the Belgian national team in Russia.
The footballer also apologised for his actions.
