Safe Speed Forums

I saw the you-tube footage on the BBC news. Looks like a car full of chav.

125MPH YOUTUBE SPEEDER HUNTED
More speeding footage appears on YouTube

Police are investigating a YouTube video that appears to show a driver filming himself charging down a motorway at 125mph.

Even more incredible than the footage of people swerving out of the way of the man hurtling down the M23 in Sussex is that it appears to be in a Vauxhall Cavalier.

The man calls himself ‘paulscav’ and at one point he focuses the camera on his speedometer to reveal his speed.

The BBC reported that the man claims to be 23-years-old.

A Sussex police spokesman said the video will be considered for investigation by the road policing department.

‘It's certainly something we would not agree with,’ he added.

‘If identified, strong consideration will be given to prosecution.

‘It was a stupid thing to do.’

There was a similar case in Telford, not long back

In fairness his force did arrest him and hand the case to the CPS but a district Judge (aka solicitor/stipendiary magistrate ) found him not guilty.

I`m a NooB but dont they only have 14 days to serve a nip

IIRC the 14 day rule only applies if they have a reg. no and the details on the DVLA computer are correct.

Although I doubt a non calibrated speedometer and a youtube video can be used as evidence.

For "speeding".

If only they were after him for "dangerous driving".
