Aug 3 (Reuters) - The Spanish politician who was driving a car that crashed in Cuba last month, killing the island's top dissident, was in proceedings to have his license revoked, according to Spain's national traffic authority.

Spain's Direccion General de Trafico (DGT) advised Angel Carromero, vice president of the ruling Popular Party's "New Generations" movement, in May that it was initiating the process to withdraw his driving license, according to official records. Carromero was given 10 days to appeal the decision.

Spain's daily El Pais said Carromero had exceeded the points limit on his license after committing 45 traffic violations since March 2011, three of which were for speeding, although most were parking offenses.

Cuba's state-run website, Cubadebate, also published several Spanish government documents related to Carromero's driving record, including a speeding fine in January 2010 of 520 euros ($644) for driving 50 percent or more above the limit.

1. He's being kind

Supposedly there was already a notice in the newspapers that he'd lost his license, but Carromero played dumb. The right wing government is trying to help out one of their own, but this guy is a disaster!

Still, with all of that the usual suspects in Miami and on the blogosphere still try to sow doubt
