....Well,my daughter was egging me on...
Well done,enjoy your holiday
I read it a couple of days ago, what a cock, and hes daughter egging him on ?
he got banned for 10 years as well, shame it wasn't for life, for endangering his and daughters lives
and every one else he passed while doing 3.2 miles a minute
but filming it as well,
That's nothin! I wired my speedo wrong and managed to do over 800mph! According to the clock i did 14 miles in a minute. All without leaving the garage!
The guy is a convicted drug dealer as well..
The 10 year ban was actually for his poor taste in music and listening the UB40
A bit harsh though the daughter also getting done for egging daddy on?..Bloody hell, would you listen to someone let alone your daughter telling you
to stick your head into a pile of poo?

Not sure what's worse, doing the deed or being stupid enough to film it. Or even stupid enough to be using a phone to film it!

How many on this site have never 'ever' driven a car or bike hard on a British road?
Lets face it ..
He got caught..

But he didn't....he is being sent away for what might have happened not for what actually did happen.

....But seriously.......192 mph on an a road?
Whats the point of any sentence for this type of person - the prison sentence he already sat for drug dealing hasn't deterred him from breaking
the law and where has he got the money after prison for a 200 mph car?
Taking his license is highly unlikely to stop him from driving.
The only thing that will work is another ten years in jail. (Well it will work for 10 years anyway)
Hopefully he will end up killing himself on the road without killing anyone else.
Albeit bone to do that speed on a road......................I am always stunned by the amopunt of non speeding saints on this site.
As for the music, no self respecting child would enter any structure with a parent playing UB40.
She should be ashamed

Yeah but 192mph? Would you have the same attitude if he'd just ran over your son/daughter whilst doing it?
192mph
Paper hat!

Shes 23! She should know better. If you egg someone on to murder someone you are an accessory. Same difference.
Good on the court for having the balls to hand out some tough punishments for a change.
The guy is clearly a weapons grade bell end. His attitude as much as the speed. I'm just hoping they go to town with an asset confiscation order.

Nope - I think that most of us speed at some time or other - but there is a huge difference between 10% or 20% faster than the speed limit and 100%. At that speed differential most people wouldn't even see him in their mirrors before they started a lane change and he hit them.
Braking and closing distances at that speed on a public road where other drivers are not expecting it are just suicidal.
It is only safe where other drivers are expecting it and practice the lane discipline to take it into account - for instance on the unrestricted autobahns.

Ok, so he has been a bit naughty.....................
.....but nobody appears to be willing to address the issue of him playing UB40.
Worse still, has a licence been applied for so this dirge can be broadcast publicly.
I was caught on the M1 just passing Junction 20 in 2003 at 142mph. 3am. 20 years old. STI type R Impreza. (Just to tempting)
Appeared in court on a dangerous driving charge and accepted a plea bargain to drop it to careless.
Resulted in an 8 week ban and a Ģ700 fine.
Wonder what the punishment would be in 2016? There appears to be a real strict approach to high speeding these days.
I think the approach would be to screw as much money as possible out of any driver with a pulse.

Asset confiscation for speeding??? Seriously?
Maths has never been my strong point but.....
He got jailed for 11 years in 2007, yet he was caught speeding in 2012......
He's most likely done half his sentence, And I'd imagine he was held on remand before his conviction.

There should be no early release. Sentences should be whatever is given in court. Those who then do not turn their life around and instead continue to cause trouble while in prison should then have their sentences extended.

Drug dealers are the scum of the earth IMHO How many lives has he ruined ? If capital punishment was brought back maybe drug dealers could be included . And before anyone gets on their high horse I do have a close member of my family who is a heroin addict so I do know how it ruins lives . As for his speeding that was totally iresposable .
I'd love to know which bit of the A45 he managed to do 200 MPH on, as I doubt it's any where near straight enough! If it was the M1, then
that's believable.
As has been said, I'm sure most here, if not all, have been naughty. I would struggle to suggest ANY journey in which I haven't' broken
a road law/speeding limit, but there is a difference between doing 100MPH and 200MPH, if only for the reason that no one will have seen him coming at
that speed. Think how fast come cars appear on motorways as it is, and they're probably doing less than 120.....

Most people speed a little quite often, some break the speed limit by quite a margin from time to time and then there's a few that will break the
speed limit by a lot occasionally. Safe/unsafe is all subjective depending on conditions, where and when but the one common thing is get caught then
take it on the chin.
One thing most people would agree with though is, how on earth can a fix speed limit be correct in all conditions any way. On a rush hour motorway
70mph in rain is plenty, but is 70mph still the 'safe' limit on a quiet dry and warm day, i think not but you'll still get fined just
as easily, maybe even easier because that's when dibble is out with their speed camera vans!.

They have a reasonable approach in France: dual speed limits. A road that may be 100kph in the dry becomes 90kph, or even 80kph, in the wet. How do
you know if it's wet conditions? I was told that the approach is "if it's raining enough to require the windscreen wipers, then the
lower speed limit applies".
Sounds woolly, but in my limited experience the French drivers seemed to obey this rule (with exceptions, of course!).
As for the speeding driver, my thoughts were "I wonder if his tyres are speed-rated for 190mph? I wonder if they were in good condition and
properly inflated? I wonder if his brakes were suitable for that speed?" In other words, all the things you'd pay attention to if you were
planning to do 190mph on a race track. I can guess the answers...

Not trying to defend the guy but I was told you had to have tyres rated to the recorded top speed on the car, but that might have been a con to sell
my tyres rated to 150 mph on my Vectra (The fastest I ever went in the car was about 65). Even if that's true though there's a good chance
he's not checked any of that or set the tyre pressures for the speed (That Vectra listed a few and to go above 120mph you were meant to set them
so hard that you felt every crack in the road, obviously I had them at a lower pressure).
I'd like to see a two speed limit system, the number of times I've had to stop on the M4 because the weather has been two bad to drive
safely at 50 and I dare not drive slower as I don't want to be hit by a lorry (I've been on the M4 in rain that limited visibility to
literally 10 metres or less more than once in more than one car). My driving instructor was always saying in an ideal world we wouldn't need
speed limits as you should always drive to the conditions but most people are just incapable of that, hence people doing 80 in severe rain (Or 60 on
tight B roads).
I still don't understand why people make records of their crimes. If I was going to break the law I wouldn't make any sort of audit trail to
prove it, if anything I'd try and make some other evidence to suggest I didn't.
