Trevor Sinclair has appeared at Blackpool Magistrates' Court to face a series of charges, including assaulting a police officer and drink-driving.
The former England international was arrested last month after a woman was hit by a car on Clifton Drive in Lytham, and the case was adjourned until January 2 after a hearing which lasted about a minute.
The 44-year-old was summonsed for offences of driving while unfit through drink, assault on a police officer, racially aggravated harassment, failing to provide a specimen for analysis, criminal damage and indecent behaviour at a police station.
Sinclair, who played for Manchester City, West Ham and Blackpool and made 12 appearances for England, was arrested on November 12 after police were called to his home in Lytham, Lancashire, following reports of a disturbance.
A Lancashire Police spokesman said: "Officers attended the property and found a man had already left the property in his car, a Tesla X60d.
"A short time later officers found the driver and vehicle which had been involved in a minor collision with a woman pedestrian on Clifton Drive.
"Mr Sinclair was also arrested on suspicion of assault and a separate criminal damage matter but will face no further action in respect of those matters."
