Jacko Posted June 7, 2007 Share Posted June 7, 2007 Here you, read this! http://www.pistonheads.com/news/default.asp?storyId=16342 Obviously, was a bit daft posting a video with speedo showing etc, but just think about the fact that its a public forum Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest prescience Posted June 7, 2007 Share Posted June 7, 2007 He needs a smart lawyer who should get him off on the 'no independent verirfication' argument - cautionary tale though and tbh he should get done at that speed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacko Posted June 7, 2007 Author Share Posted June 7, 2007 He needs a smart lawyer who should get him off on the 'no independent verirfication' argument - cautionary tale though Yeah, sure there is some loopholes they could use, but bit petty for the Sun to go on the rampage..... Was there no tits, crap stories and "dear deidre" stories to publish that day, that they now getting into "investigative journalism"? But as you say, warning for all...... Watch out for new users joining...... with a name such as "The Sun" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rickya Posted June 7, 2007 Share Posted June 7, 2007 I remember ringing you up about that Loius the following morning after the Docklands meet! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris`I Posted June 7, 2007 Share Posted June 7, 2007 Bah, just tell them all its all photoshopped, they cant prove anything Same goes for video if its not actually tape footage that they can get hold of. As prescience says, with no verification of the speed, prosecution wouldnt have a leg to stand on. This does remind me of a time I heard of a biker being stopped, I think for something silly like an indicator out. They noticed he had a camera attached to the bike and viewed the tape and he was done for going 150MPH+. Idiot! Doing those speeds on public roads they deserve the book to be thrown at them.

Dan Posted June 9, 2007 Share Posted June 9, 2007 I heard of a biker being prosecuted and they used his own video evidence against him, and I'm sure someone else was done in a supercar filming himself doing high speed runs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SwissZ Posted June 10, 2007 Share Posted June 10, 2007 Well, I've got no problem admitting on our public forum that I did 150mph on Friday! Shame I didn't make a video, just south of Karlsruhe, Germany is really nice this time of year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kennyc Posted June 13, 2007 Share Posted June 13, 2007 I actually *know* this guy and I've driven that very car, it's very quick and much fun, not that I drove fast in it of course . Most unfortunate that someone would grass him up to the Sun of all papers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ir_fuel Posted June 13, 2007 Share Posted June 13, 2007 How can they prove he drove that fast? Maybe the speedo in his car is waaay off... I think he has a chance to win this one, otherwise they can start prosecuting everybody driving in a Citroen where they have this digital speedo in the middle of the car, which you can read when driving next to them. Same goes for cars like Porsches where the wing goes up at 80 mph. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
