With reference to your article (Evening Press, March 31) on the advanced driver who has been banned from driving, I wish to point out that this man is not a member of the York Group of Advanced Motorists.
But if he were, he would be subject to expulsion, as any member would be, if found in similar circumstances.
Bearing in mind your perhaps understandable emphasis on the word 'advanced' may I point out that those who have been admitted to the Institute of Advanced Motorists, after a test, are not immune from making mistakes, but they are substantially less likely to err in their driving.
And they are generally far superior drivers than those who have not the inclination to take their driving beyond the standard demonstrated when they took the basic driving test.

Chairman, York Advanced Motorists,
