president of the Institute of Advanced Motorists banned from driving

You've got to love the irony...
The Duke of Gloucester, who is the president of the Institute of Advanced Motorists has been banned from driving. Glad to see he's taking his position seriously then...
Apparently it's his fourth offence in three years, what an idiot!
This now puts the institute in an'interesting' position. Normally institute members who loses their licence also loses their membership. So they should really boot the Duke's sorry arse out, but since he's the President, that's going to look pretty stupid...

I'm sure they'll find some way to fudge it, but I think they should tell him to sling his hook. Bad driving's a bit og a bug bear of mine. I'm not saying I'm a great driver, I'm not, but people don't seem to take road rules very seriously. the fact is people die every day from bad driving. I've lost a couple of friends in car accidents.

So Dukey boy's public humiliation is thoroughly deserved in my opinion.

Damn, couldn't work a 'Duke of hazard' gag in there anywhere...
