It is much the same as requiring me to pass a regular license exam before moving on to getting a commercial driver's license so I can drive around a school bus full of children. Should a school bus driver be allowed to drive children if his license is suspended from actions off the job?
These highly paid drivers are examples whether they want to be or not. To allow a driver to keep his super-license after his road license has been suspended sort of makes them above the law.

What a load of rubbish, penalties already exist for misbehaviour on public roads in the form of traffic laws. Holding a superlicence should in no way be affected by your personal driving.
You left out a few other quotes from the article.Quote:

Can you imagine the uproar if a driver lost his superlicence during a tight battle for the world championship with one or two races to go? Never happen.
What might hapeen would be a one month suspension or so in Dec. or Jan. which would mean nothing.
Well on this matter it does appear that I stand WITH Hamilton and OPPOSE the view of Jense!
NO driver is responsible for anything anyone else does - no matter what they do.
When did this bs start?
It is the task of parents and guardians and so on to teach children to have good self-esteem - ie: teach them to think for themselves and take responsibility for themselves, and not do something and then whining that their "hero" did it so....
It is the height of immorality to place unearned guilt on someone - in this case a racing driver's actions.
But then I am not surprised either - just look at the crumbling, declining permissive societies that are the norm today.
Aristotle is dying and Plato is rising - the tragedy of the world.
No. Not even suspension for a second or a fine of 1 centilla.Quote:

The RIGHT of the SECOND AMENDMENT!
Bravo, RS. You got it exactly. No team would want a troublemaker driver that would tarnish their image.Quote:
