You do know it wasnt his car dont you...

Interesting to see that the fastest ever was 175mph on a Blade. He got 6 weeks time and 2 year ban.

Previous highest car was 156 He got a five-month jail sentence and a four-year driving ban.

Curiously a guy who crashed his car which kiled 2 passengers has walked from court with a Ł250 fine and a two-year driving ban.

Wheres the parity?

A Cossie owner was caught doing 169.4 going to the Pod & charged with doing 165 not long ago so that 156 aint true. He got a 6 months ban.

He will go to prison for sure so maby it will give him sometime to think about what could of gone wrong that day if a car would of been coming the other way or if there was already a crashed car in the road.
Mr high and mighty, dont get me wrong I dont condone the 172MPH this guy was doing on a public highway, but that sure is a nice looking EsCos you got there, you saying you never pushed that to say 140? Truthfully now
I can tell you ive never drove my car at speeds like that for 2 reasons, 1 is i got that car as eye candy and dont use it and 2 i dont have a driving licence!

I have a yamaha r1 and a saph cossie too but i dont use any of them, you see i just like to collect nice things that can go fast but do not use them and abuse them.

If my cars do get driven i make sure im in the pas seat and that it is only to and from mot's

Again all i said was i know a few ppl that have been killed on that stretch of road and to travel at speeds like that is outright stupid on any public road not to mention the fact that the a420 has claimed more lifes than pretty much anyother a road in the uk.
What a waste!!

Have you never had a license? Or have you been banned?

Thats just it, this country is an absolute joke for this very reason.

99% of drivers have gone over the limit before, ok not to this extent, but i bet MANY would if they could.

Maybe this was dangerous, maybe it wasnt. However, it doesnt deserve a prison sentence based on the above in my opinion.

All these people beating people up, robbing peoples homes, and smashing cars up, assaults etc, and the majority get away with a caution.

Funny how an 18 year old kid can nick a car, do 100mph through a village, get chased round for 20 miles by half a dozen traffic cars and the copter, smash into 5 parked cars, going through 12 red lights and driving through the local park nearly hitting pedestrians.........and get away with what............a 2 year driving ban, Ł200 fine and an ''official police caution''.

Exactly mate its bollocks , but they know the general middle class can afford huge fines and generally won't argue, hence why they do so many people for relativly minor offences

Most judges don't live in the real world either, so expect a stupid long sentance and huge fine as he will be " making an example of him"

I hate this country

This is where it all falls down!

I cringe everytime i see Roadwars or Police camera action and the scrots and chavs that nick cars, crash cars and generally terrorise neighbourhood get away with suspended sentences and 'cautions'.

Whereas this middle class guy who A, has the audacity to own a Porsche and B, go over the 70mph limit will probably get a jail sentence....

Its all gone to rat shite.

I have an idea.

Selected people, i.e all PF users should get a remote control handset and when a scrot is caught we get to punch a button to decide the tariff!

So for example a scrot in a nicked Vauxhall Belmont crashes into 5 parked cars - we can punch in 12mths jail on our handsets (this would be the minimum in the new PF sentencing handbook). If he has previous then we can simply double or treble etc.

The middle class guy with the Porsche, we can decide what fine he gets - say for example, lending it to me for the weekend with a full tank of fuel!!!

huh?
how did you get them home then?
how do you insure them?
what's the point?
did you lose your license for speeding along the A420?
I got them home on a recovery truck,
Thay are insured on my friends co policy and stored in his lock up,
And the point is i love cossies!
Never held a licence to lose in the first place
you serious? you own a modded cossie and an R1, but never had a driving licence in your life?! why?
The no licence thing is not by choice, i got a nasty bang on the head a few years ago and i have to be given the all clear b4 i can even have a prov licence, than i can start thinking about doing my tests.

I just love cossies thats all, when i was 20 i got my first cossie with 98 k on clock, im now 28 and it only has 102k on the clock.

My escort had 48k on clock when i got it it now has 51k on the clock and ive had that 6 years.

My r1 has 9k on clock.

The thing is if i would of spent the money on anything else car wise by now i would of lost alot on it, but as we all know cossies are only going to get more and more hard to come by in years to come as more and more get crashed, nicked.

I look at the cars as a little investment cos when i do come to sell them in lets say 20 years time they might be worth more than i give for them.

Well to be honest m8 im having to fight for the right to drive, because of the extent of the injury the dvla think im not fit to drive but ive never blacked out, gone dizzy or needed to go back to the hospital for any reason to do with my head since.

Ive been onto my mp and he is going to team up with my doc and try to force the dvla to give me a chance and get a dvla doc to have a look at me and let him make his mind up.

he must have been caught by one of them mobile camera vans as i thought if you went through a speed camera at 150+ they cant get a photo as you are going to fast, like they tried to prove on top gear.
