Criminal Convictions
Tindall has two criminal convictions for drink-driving. The earlier conviction, in 2000, resulted in a 16-month disqualification (which was in itself in excess of the obligatory 12-month disqualification for a first offence). On 8 January 2009 he was again convicted of drink-driving, was banned from driving for three years and fined £500, with £75 costs. This was the consequence of an incident on the M4 motorway on 15 March 2008 when Tindall was stopped by Gloucestershire Police who required Tindall to take a breath test, following a day out at Cheltenham Racing Festival with Zara Phillips.

“It could probably be shown by facts and figures that there is no distinctly native American criminal class except Congress.”
—Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)
“No two people see the world exactly alike, and different temperaments will often apply the same principle, recognized by both, differently. Even one and the same person won’t always maintain the same views and judgments: earlier convictions must give way to later ones.”
