Yea, seems like a pretty severe under-reaction to only ban him from that specific highway. And for only 18 months at that. An 18 month license suspension seems more reasonable.

He was indeed banned for 18 months - the article must have misinterpreted the story. Here's a BBC News article covering it http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-beds-bucks-herts-439345...

"The Queen's Highway" is an archaic a sounding but still valid way of referring to public roads ( and footpaths ) in the UK.

To be banned from driving on the highway is to be banished to private grounds.
