It’s about time - a year to be exact.
Because behind the wheel of a car Nick Bollea makes Britney Spears look like “Driving Miss Daisy,” the son of faux wrestler Hulk Hogan, at long last, has been notified by state officials that his driving priviliges have been suspended for at least a year - and this is a result of having nothing to do with the August 26th wreck, which has left family friend, Marine John Graziano in critical condition with severe head injuries.
Rather, the year-long suspension of Bollea’s driver’s license stems from an April speeding ticket in Osceola County where this 17-year-old twerp was clocked at 106 mph.
“We have the ability to suspend somone’s license if we believe what they could be convicted of is a potential danger should this person remain on the road,” a Florida Department of Highway Safety & Motor Vehicles official told The Tribune’s Stephen Thompson, adding, “We’ve deemed him dangerous to the general public on the road.”
Gee, do ya think?!?!? And by the way, thank you, thank you, thank you.
Just why his parents, Mr. & Mrs Hulkster didn’t uniltaterally yank their doltish son off the streets after a series of speeding tickets remains a bigger mytery than what’s under that dopey rag the phony wrestler wears on his head. Probably not much - in more ways than one.
Ask yourself a simple question? If you had a 17-year-old ne’erdowell living under your roof who had managed to accumulate a collection of moving violations virtually within 20 minutes of gettting his license wuld you permit this dimbulb to drive a rickshaw, much less a high performance car?
But when it comes to the Bolleas this story has had the feel of “Deliverance” on steroids from the very beginning.
Still, thanks to the state, the streets of Clearwater will be a little bit safer, for a little while.
It’s not much in the way of justice, but it’s a start.
