190mph - Gone To Her Majesty's Pleasure For A Couple Of Years

rediculous behavour,,,,,,,,,,, to put the man in prison,, will the judiciary never learn,, the guy should be giving driving lessons, not doing time...

 

If the story as reported is correct (I appreciate it is probably inaccurate), the only evidence against the guy was videos which he had preserved himself. We have debated on other threads questions around committing offences on video and then keeping the evidence. Leaving aside what you think about driving at 190, what do you think about the mind of a man who keeps the videos on his own phone?

 

Bit of a tosser.
Not even on an empty motorway. No doubt he would have continued until the inevitable occurred. Should have booked himself a track day.

 

Well I do think that listening to "It Wasn't Me" by Shaggy is a serious offence.

 

But surely UB40 is?

 

Sounds like a bit of an oxygen thief to me, I no sooner get in a car with him driving than Mr Wonder. If you are going to drive at high speed like that concentrate on what you're doing and not filming it on a phone, certainly don't post it online.

 

Reiterating your point regarding the quality and extent of the reported evidence. But reporting ( not only in the well regarded and leading edge Halifax Courier) suggests he is not seen in the footage, and even the police admit as such. Presumably it's only his phone that is guilty then, if they cannot identify the driver, via evidence. Did he just fess up then?

 

No, he was found guilty by a jury

 

Indeed, but how did he get there if he was not identifiable in this much commented footage?

 

The bint in the passenger seat sounds like a brain surgeon too :Wtf:

 

... who might have identified the vehicle as belonging to him, failed to find any other places online where you might find the footage and concluded "beyond reasonable doubt".

 

Never liked black wheels .....

 

Exactly.

 

If the speed limit is 70, then its easy to restrict vehicles to 70, a bit like trucks. At least traffic camera income would cease.

 

I would hope there is more evidence, for said jury to consider, other than 'your the vehicle owner,'and 'we've got some video someone's taken.'

 

That's the process, but the reported details-thus far- are somewhat lacking to see on what basis that reasonable decision is taken.

 

It could be that Mr Davis gave evidence in the witness box saying it wasn't him, but the jury decided he was lying. If that is the way of it, it matters little what other evidence there might be.
