MK Oren Hazan fined, has license revoked for traffic violation

The Jerusalem Magistrate’s Court fines scandal-dogged Likud MK Oren Hazan 1,500 NIS ($417) and revokes his driver’s license for a period of 30 days for a December 2016 traffic violation.

Hazan was caught driving almost twice the legal speed limit as he made his way to the Red Sea resort of Eilat. The officer slapped Hazan with a ticket and a subpoena summoning him to a hearing with a senior traffic cop, as is the procedure for lawmakers.

Hazan, who entered the Knesset in the last election, has become known as the enfant terrible of Israel’s parliament.
