Hulk
Hogan's Son Handed Driving Ban
11/21/07
Hulk Hogan's son Nick Bollea has had his driving license suspended for
one year by police in Florida.
The 17-year-old was booked on a dangerous driving charge in relation to
his summer (07) car crash on 7 November (07).
But officials in Tampa have suspended his license because they deem him
to be a dangerous driver.
Ann Nucatola, spokeswoman for the Florida Department of Highway Safety
& Motor Vehicles, says, "We have the ability to suspend someone's
license if we believe what they could be convicted of is a potential
danger should this person remain on the road.
"We've deemed him dangerous to the general public on the
road."
Bollea has also been ordered to pay a fine for driving 106 miles per
hour during the crash or have his license suspended indefinitely. The
amount of the fine was not known.
The teen was traveling with his pal, U.S. Marine John Graziano, 22,
when he lost control of his father's Toyota Supra on a Florida highway in
August.
According to officials, the vehicle flipped at high speed and collided
with a palm tree.
The teenager, who will be tried as an adult, turned himself in to
police on 5 November (07) and was charged with reckless driving involving
serious bodily injury.
