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.
