BRASILIA - With the punctuation in the national driver's license (CNH) blown up, the world-wide Formula 1 champion Nelson Piquet was removed from the streets as to not put at risk the life of the other several drivers. To return to driving, Piquet is frequenting a course of "recycling" in the Detran of Brasilia. The former-pilot frequented the lesson next to his wife, Viviane, between 14h30m and 17h30m, dividing the room with others 20 pupils.

The direction of the Detran of Brasilia did not give details of the punishment to Piquet, but the Brazilian Code of Transit (CBT) foresees the disability of the license, for a period of one the twelve months, when the driver accumulates more than 20 points in fines in a period of twelve months. Also the driver punished for defined infractions can have the suspended CNH as most serious (seven points), as excess of speed above 50% of the allowed one in the street.

- Crudely translated from o Globo, but a massive HAHAHA

ROFL!! Ace :D

Naughty boy!

Former F1 Champion Nelson Piquet is back in driving school after his licence was revoked for racking up too many traffic violations.


The Brazilian lost his drivers licence in June this year after receiving a few too many parking and speeding fines.


However, it's not just Piquet whose has had to get used to walking, it's also his wife Viviane, who lost her licence for bad driving.


The 54-year-old and his wife will have to attend 30 hours of classes over an eight-day period and pass the exam before regaining their licences.


"I think we have to pay for our mistakes," Piquet told local news agency G1.


"It's not even just a speeding problem. I got tickets for all kinds of reasons, for things like parking where I shouldn't."
