Eric Clapton won’t be driving in France for a while. Police said they clocked the rock star speeding down a highway at 134 mph and suspended his license.
Radar caught Clapton whizzing down a highway Tuesday in his Porsche 911 Turbo at 53 mph above the speed limit, police said.
Police confiscated Clapton’s British driver’s license. After paying a $922 fine, he rolled away in his Porsche -- this time in the passenger seat with his secretary behind the wheel, police said Thursday.
