Archbishop picks up three points on his licence following speeding offence in October last year
The Archbishop of Canterbury was convicted of speeding and ordered to pay £510 in fines and legal costs just days after the coronation of King Charles.
Justin Welby was caught exceeding the 20mph speed limit on a road in Lambeth, central London on 2 October last year.
The archbishop was also handed three penalty points after being caught by a speed camera in his Volkswagen Golf on the A3036 Albert Embankment.
He was convicted in a private hearing at Lavender Hill Magistrates’ Court on Wednesday – the same day he criticised the government’s plans to tackle the issue of migrants crossing the Channel on small boats as “morally unacceptable and politically impractical”.
