A TEENAGER who posted footage of himself on the internet driving at speeds up to 130mph on a Suffolk road has pleaded guilty to dangerous driving.

The two minute clip, taken with Hyde's mobile phone, showed him driving at high speed eastbound on the A14 between Claydon and Copdock.

The court was shown the footage, which shows him overtaking lorries, and also shows the speedometer of his Astra car.


I have no idea how he managed to get anywhere near that speed for two minutes on that stretch. It is the section past Ipswich and has several junctions and lots of lorries heading for Felixstowe. The trouble is idiots like him give rise to the blanket 50mph limits being proposed in Suffolk.

I still love to see the video just to he how he did it...

This link http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nf3xGgF1h0M shows a video from a Police car going West on the same stretch (Mr. 130 was going East). I think it starts from the A137 junction and ends just before the Claydon exit. You can see how many trucks there are and it gets a LOT busier, but never much less.
