A month after he was banned for speeding under the points totting-up procedure, the Duke of Gloucester has resigned as president of the Institute of Advanced Motorists (IAM). PH reported the incident a few weeks ago (link below).
His fourth speeding offence in three years -- this time 70mph in a 60mph limit -- meant he had 12 points and an automatic ban under the totting up rule. The ban lasts six months and, as a result, he automatically lost his membership.
John Maxwell, the IAM chairman, said: "The Duke's decision to resign the IAM presidency has been received with great regret by all IAM Council members, given his effective and enthusiastic presidency over 32 years.
