Court papers stated Furuhashi drove at 44 miles per hour in a 30-limit zone during the first alleged matter.
He was then accused of driving at 43 miles per hour on the same road the next day.
Lastly, Furuhashi was said to have gone at the same speed four days later.
Furuhashi, who is now with French outfit Rennes, was initially on the rolls for a hearing at Glasgow's Justice of the Peace court. Furuhashi himself was not present.
However, prosecutors decided to treat the matter as "not called."
A Crown Office and Procurator Fiscal Service spokesperson said: "The Procurator Fiscal received a report relating to a 29-year-old male and an incident said to have occurred on 03 October 2024.
'After careful consideration of the facts and circumstances of the case, including the available admissible evidence, the Procurator Fiscal decided that there should be no further proceedings at this time.
"The Crown reserves the right to proceed in the future should further evidence become available."
Recent reports have suggested that the ex-Celt could land a move back to the UK, but south of the border this time.
His time in France has been a nightmare as he's struggled for playing time and looked like he might have been heading quickly for the exit door.
Celtic boss Brendan Rodgers has STRONGER transfer case after final defeat
But now English Premier League side Bournemouth are reportedly interested in a swoop for the Japanese international despite having two years left on his Rennes contract.
Though the forward has hinted that he is preparing for pre-season with his current club regardless.
He was spotted catching up with former Vissel Kobe teammate Hotaru Yamaguchi during the off-season.
After which, he said: "I was happy to get to meet someone I wanted to see while on the off-season and I was looking forward to seeing him play.
"I'll do my best, too, when I am back playing in pre-season."

The 51-year-old former Falkirk, Coventry, Fleetwood and Carlisle boss will take the reins after leaving his role as head of individual player development at Brentford last week. It represents a surprise appointment by the Dark Blues, with his name having barely been mooted since the sacking of Tony Docherty a fortnight ago, although he did play under Dundee technical director Gordon Strachan at Celtic. Pressley has not managed in Scotland since leaving Falkirk in 2013. Steven Pressley is our new Head Coach Dundee Football Club are today delighted to announce the appointment of Steven Pressley as the club's new Head Coach.

Wild card Lois Boisson shocks third seed Jessica Pegula at French Open
The 22-year-old, ranked 361 in the world, stunned American Pegula 3-6 6-4 6-4 in front of a delirious Court Philippe-Chatrier crowd. Boisson's only real claim to fame prior to this year's tournament was being the player Britain's Harriet Dart complained to an umpire about, saying 'tell her to wear deodorant'. A picture you can hear 🗣️#RolandGarros — Roland-Garros (@rolandgarros) June 2, 2025 But she came up smelling of roses on Monday afternoon after a famous win in the French capital. It was an emotional victory for Boisson, who was due to make her debut in Paris last year only to suffer a serious knee injury a fortnight before the tournament which kept her out of action for nine months. Boisson was not even sure she would receive a wildcard, with her ranking having plunged so low. She is now the first Frenchwoman to reach the last eight since Caroline Garcia in 2017, and the first wildcard since Mary Pierce in 2002. 'I didn't expect anything, because we don't know every time if we will get it or not, so I prefer not to expect it,' she said. 'When I received it, I was really happy. I hope to go further – to win if I can. I will try to do my best, and let's see. 'For the match point, I really felt very tense. And when I saw that my forehand was a winner, well, the whole pressure went off. 'I was just so happy to win and to be able to play a quarter-final.' Boisson will meet Russian teenager Mirra Andreeva, the sixth seed, in the last eight. Coco Gauff, the world number two, is moving quietly through the draw after beating Russian 20th seed Ekaterina Alexandrova 6-0 7-5. The 21-year-old, runner-up in 2022, is into the quarter-finals for the fifth successive year. She will face another American, the Australian Open champion Madison Keys, who beat Hailey Baptiste in straight sets. In the men's draw, world number one Jannik Sinner was untroubled in the night match, beating Russian 17th seed Andrey Rublev 6-1 6-3 6-4 in under two hours. The Italian will face Alexander Bublik in the last eight after the world number 62 from Kazahkstan came from a set and a break down to oust British fifth seed Jack Draper in four sets.
