The all-star center has seen his driving license suspended as a result of running 10 red lights in just a 2-and-a-half year span, according to TMZ Sports.
"According to official records, the NBA superstar was captured by those red light cameras in Orange County, FL over and over again … starting in 2012, when he was busted 9 times in 10 months. Then, after a year-and-a-half without a violation, Howard struck again in 2014 — blowing through another red light on July 1st … his 10th overall infraction. Officials from the Orange County Clerk of Courts tell us … Howard’s license can be reinstated if he pays a $285 fine."
With such a small fine relative to Howard’s salary, expect the big man to be back on the roads soon.
However, the fact that Howard ran 10 red lights is still pretty incredible. One would think after the first couple violations he would learn the drill.
Unfortunately, a $285 fine likely won’t be enough of a wakeup call if 10 violations didn’t do it.
Howard averaged 18.3 points, 12.2 rebounds and 1.8 blocks per game this past season with the Houston Rockets. In his first season on the Rockets, Houston would 54 games and was defeated in the first round of the playoffs by the Portland Trail Blazers.
