Default Keeping their Licenses?!

How do people who race in the Gumball keep their licenses. 12 tickets, doing 100+, and you live in America? Wouldn't they take your license away the second all those things got processed?

I think I read in some other forum that because they all use international licenses thats why they can get away with it. For those americans that are driving fast.. well.. they just hope like heck that they dont get caught if not then its a night in the slammer possibly... heh

Cops should just worry about the drivers that are weaving in and out of lanes, they are the people that are the biggest threat, who cares if your chilling in the left lane doing 120+

I dont care if you speed, hell i think the speed limit should be 90. The problem is driver error, people not able to handle their cars at anyspeed. I think there should be tiered licenses, if you get a certain level you can drive at what ever speed ont he highway, and certain roads.

Some of the people on the American gumballs have lost their licenses while in the race, i.e. going at above the maximum speeding fine limit.

Which is better than some of the people in the European gumball, who lost their cars...

Because it is quite possible that a car would pull in front of you and then both of you would be toast, cause at 120+ people can't really see you come up that fast.
