Nick Hogan Off-Roaded
Nick Hogan is unlicensed to drive.
Florida state officials have suspended the 17-year-old's behind-the-wheel privileges for one year after determining him to be a dangerous driver.
Hogan, son of the Hulk, was arrested Nov. 7 in connection with the August crash that left his 22-year-old passenger, John Graziano, critically injured.
He was charged with third-degree felony reckless driving involving serious bodily harm, as well as use of a motor vehicle in commission of a felony, being under the age of 21, operating a vehicle with a breath-alcohol level of 0.02 percent or higher and illegal window tint.
According to the Tampa Tribune, a letter was sent to Hogan, whose real name is Nick Bollea, on Monday, informing him his license will be revoked as of Dec. 10.
In order to avoid losing his license permanently, he must pay a fine for driving 106 mph at the time of his August crash. The amount of the fine was unknown.
"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," said Ann Nucatola, a spokeswoman for the Florida Department of Highway Safety & Motor Vehicles. "We've deemed him dangerous to the general public on the road."
Prior to the crash, Hogan was already in hot water for driving 82 mph in a construction zone. He pleaded no contest to that charge in September, at which time his license was restricted to business purposes only.
Hogan was behind the wheel of his 1998 Toyota Supra on Aug. 26 when he lost control of the car while drag racing a friend.
Graziano, who was not wearing a seatbelt, suffered a broken skull and has been comatose since the crash. His parents are currently involved in a court dispute over who should be responsible for his care.
Hogan, who was belted in at the time of impact, escaped with relatively minor injuries, including a broken arm and ribs along with neck and knee injuries. He was treated and released from the hospital the morning after the accident.
