Zara Tindall has received a six month driving ban after being caught speeding at 91mph.
- After speeding in a 70mph zone, Zara Tindall is unable to drive for six months after magistrates imposed four points on her licence.
- The ban has taken effect because she already had nine points on her licence, so she has now exceeded the 12-point limit.

On 8th January, it was revealed that Zara Tindall had received the ban in Cheltenham today under the ‘totting up’ procedure. She had received the nine other points from previous motoring offences over the last three years.
Zara Tindall’s three previous offences were speeding in February 2017, a fixed penalty offence in February 2018 and a traffic signal penalty in December 2018.

Prosecutor Farley Turner explained the decision, saying,“Because Mrs Tindall already has nine points on her licence she was unable to accept a fixed penalty for this offence.”

All of these offences landed her three points each, meaning the recent incident has left her with the maximum number of points on her licence. As a result, a driving ban has now been issued.
