Cragus Posted July 31, 2013 Posted July 31, 2013 The bit that really boils my urine is when he says in court 'I'm still going to drive. Catch me if you can'. The judge should of been entitled to say 'Is the right ya wee fanny. Jail, now I don't need to try' Quote
WhackyWill Posted July 31, 2013 Posted July 31, 2013 What a complete KNOB...!!! Also shows no respect for the Court, he should have been locked up for contempt of Court as that what you get done for if driving while disqualified and it carries a max of 5 years.. Quote
wmr1980 Posted July 31, 2013 Posted July 31, 2013 There's no need to drive like that on a public road. And if you're going to do it, at least be a man and take it on the chin, put your hands up and be respectful/remorseful to the law when you're caught. Unfortunately he'll undoubtedly keep driving irrespective of a ban - those sort of people will do Quote
JetSet Posted July 31, 2013 Posted July 31, 2013 Unfortunately he'll undoubtedly keep driving irrespective of a ban - those sort of people will do Making statements like that in a court will wind the police up no end. I would imagine he'll be closely watched from now on. Pete Quote

sipar69 Posted July 31, 2013 Posted July 31, 2013 Somehow it being a hired car makes it seem even sadder! What a chump. Quote
BillyZed Posted July 31, 2013 Posted July 31, 2013 Somehow it being a hired car makes it seem even sadder! What a chump. Was it hired? I didn't finish the video, he only got fined £515 and lost his license! Not bad for him really seeing as how he went 165! Got off light Quote

I didn't finish the video, he only got fined £515 and lost his license! Not bad for him really seeing as how he went 165! Got off light Yep. It refers to the car being hired. Obviously dangerous driving is dangerous driving but for some reason it just makes him seem more of a gimp that he doesn't even own such a nice car. Edited August 1, 2013 by sipar69 Quote
The Bounty Bar Kid Posted August 1, 2013 Posted August 1, 2013 Didn't watch the video. Have now. What a prick! Jail him! Quote
Ekona Posted August 1, 2013 Posted August 1, 2013 The fastest car in the world is a hire car. Now proven. Quote
sidewayz350z Posted August 1, 2013 Posted August 1, 2013 What a **** and you know that losing his licence will result in him losing his job and only being able to pay £2 a week for his fine, Jail not bail is what he deserves Quote
rtbiscuit Posted August 1, 2013 Posted August 1, 2013 Is it Sharia law that if caught stealing they chop your hand off? Could it be modernised... if your caught speeding they cut off your accelerator foot. Quote
docwra Posted August 1, 2013 Posted August 1, 2013 Meh. If the motorway was empty (which it probably was at 0500) then I dont see its a big deal .......... yep, watched video and didnt see another car. Not saying he shouldnt get banned but I saw more "dangerous" driving on my way to work this morning 1 Quote
wizard Posted August 1, 2013 Posted August 1, 2013 (edited) Too many do-gooders on performance car forums, which is ironic in itself. None of you guys have ever exceeded the speed limit on a public road? If so, please get yourself a hybrid, save us the speech, and make yourself feel better by hugging a tree in the process! Looks like he sped when no-one was around, so not like he was putting anyone at risk (according to the video). His attitude towards the court though is another matter entirely which I don't agree with. Edited August 1, 2013 by wizard 1 Quote
M13KYF Posted August 1, 2013 Posted August 1, 2013 complete prick, should go to jail for his attitude in court Quote
rtbiscuit Posted August 1, 2013 Posted August 1, 2013 My comment was more for people caught doing that speed with that attitude....well just him 1 Quote
brumjohn Posted August 1, 2013 Posted August 1, 2013 This happened June 2011.Presumably we've all been sharing the roads with this scumbag for the last 2 years. Don't understand why it takes this long to get to court!!?? Quote
JetSet Posted August 1, 2013 Posted August 1, 2013 (edited) I looked up the fastest speeding ticket for a car in The U.K. It's 172 mph, once again it wasn't the drivers own car, he had "borrowed" it from a dealership where he worked. He got 10 weeks in prison, although the circumstances were different, he was on a busy dual carriageway and he took the car without proper permission. The outright U.K record is 176 mph by a biker . Update on that in 2012 someone was caught doing 180 in a stolen Audi. Pete Edited August 1, 2013 by JetSet Quote

Don't understand why it takes this long to get to court!!?? I'm pretty sure that it'd been before a magistrate quite soon after it happened and they have the power to impose an interim ban , just like they did in the case of Carlos Tevez. Also found this The court heard that Mahmoon had previous for driving while disqualified and driving without due care and attention. He was previously convicted of possessing cannabis with intent to supply. Pete Edited August 1, 2013 by JetSet Quote

Not saying he shouldnt get banned but I saw more "dangerous" driving on my way to work this morning Totally agree! He only put himself in danger so not really a big deal, I did the same when I went 160 on my R6 but I didn't get caught Quote
