There is currently no European wide method of having points in one country  
affect your license in another. He can still drive in the UK with a UK license  
but cannot use that license in France. They tell us that soon parking tickets 
 issued in other countries on your British registered car will soon be 
enforced  so you have to pay them and no doubt in the near future the EU will 
make 
it so  points in one country apply to your home country license but currently 
that's  not the case. When it is I will be moving back the US!
 
Driving on the race track is not the same as driving on a public road hence  
you do not need any license for it.
 
I love Ferrari and am indifferent to McKlunkin but I do like the Hamilton  
kid! He is fun to watch and seems to be a nice guy as well. maybe someday he  
will end up at Ferrari.

Now that  Lewis Hamilton has been suspended from driving in France for one 
month, what  happens to his driver's license?  Is it a British licence (note 
the 
 correct Anglicized spelling) or a European Community license or ?  Is his  
driving elsewhere affected?  Can he test for McLaren while his driving  
privileges (in France and/or not in other places) are in  suspension?
