OK, he did hit 128mph, and he ran red lights and and ignored uniformed police, and drove dangerously, and lost control, and caused another driver to take evasive action and all, but still...

deserved it, imagine if he hit you or your missus at that speed, shudder to think.

Judges in this country are not fit for the job. They live in their own worlds.

We all drive like tools at time, and break the speed limit. but this guy, was driving like an absolute CUNT according to his list of offences. im sure with that kind of sentence, when he gets his licence back in four years time, he wont drive like that again, especially as he wont be able to insure anything more poerfull than a 1.2 corsa.

RC4

Khan then continued on the A9 to Inverness at speeds of 110mph, forcing some vehicles to swerve to avoid a head-on collision.
sure it was a laugh a minute lad

focusv8

He'll probably just drive uninsured then

Minirotty

Should have been given longer in prison.

4 months will be in reality 8 weeks, HDC (TAG) will be granted and he'll be released in around 3 to 4 weeks.

The muppet looked really ashamed of himself there. Fucking cock sucker.

So there will be a golf for sale then!

Has anyone elsa beaten his time of "seven or eight minutes to cover the 16 miles" ??

Glad to see some other people getting their arse felt by the judicial system for once... although to be fair, I'd expect him to get a longer stretch inside than he got.

Jail term for speeding is a bit daft but he deserves it for the rest of the charges!

Derby_Gav

It says he spun the car 90 degrees? So he had it sideways then?!

Gavin.

MadMac

For once, I agree with you.

Sure we all speed, but there is no call for 128mph EVER on a public road.

zombienation

I agree totally.

pullo

+1 the r sole.

Ginge !

sorry but im not sure that doing 130 on a empty motorway is that bad IMO but then again i do alot of motorway driving and have been known to go over 70mph on ocasions

Less.

Good call as it was more than just speeding in this blokes case

Similar to me I was doing 145 in the cossy in a 30 at night and never stopped I got a 12 month ban and 8 weeks inside with a 8 week licence

misleading title trying to cause sensationalism.

he did not get that sentance for speeding but all the other offences.

RS Grant

iTrader: (1)

You're worse than the tosser in the original link. Granted, 145mph on cossie clocks is probably only about 115mph in reality but in a 30mph zone that is just plain ridiculous... should have got far more than 8 weeks inside IMO.


Cheers,

i got caught doing 138 after a chase from the cops 6 years ago.i only got a year ban and Ł300 fine after pleading guilty.

Ginge !

what road can you actually TRAVEL at 145 on that is a 30mph road ?

i dont mean get to then slow down for a bend either as im no stranger to driving like a prick but i doubt the road would be a 30 as that means its a built up area,,,, dont usually allow to happen due to geography if that makes sence

i've been known not to be an angel in the past but never ran from the cops

sometimes you cant help it lol

i scraped 125 in the 3dr the other day in a very short space of time! didnt even get over 6krpm in 3dr and 4th!

but did let off straight away, as it would have probably of shit itself

What a cunt, just look at him, and he drives a german car, no suprises really! Should have been banged up for longer IMO!

i live in Blackburn and there are loads of tossers here that drive like dicks all the time.
it will mean naff all to him as getting a replica license is dead easy and he'll just claim racial harrassment and never get stopped again.
honestly the things some of them get up to on the roads round here is unbelieveable.

Doesnt sound like the speeding was much of a factor, more the number of lives he put at risk.

Sounds a fair punishment to me really.

Should have got longer IMO. As somebody has already said, he'll be out in a matter of weeks.

If what you have said is true (which sounds doubtful) then you should also have got longer.

97 miles 42 minutes door to door, including a tug from plod who told me to slow down, we didn't get a reading and then on my merry way

but i wasn't driving "dangerously" i was just driving a bit fast

and this was many many moons ago, i very much doubt i'd be able to either have a car that quick or be in such a rush or get away so lightly in these times

foreigneRS

don't be such a bender. on a good sized road with good visibility and clear of traffic, why the hell not? i regularly do that kind of speed on a bike and don't see it being that dangerous. maybe in something that takes ages to get up to that speed and doesn't have the brakes or handling for sustained high speed, but if you have a genuine performance vehicle it shouldn't be a problem. anyway, you haven't specified a public road in this country, and there are plenty of places in the world where that is perfectly legal and acceptable.

Do we know the guy,s previous driving record,as this would be another factor in the penalty,yes rs grant you are an angel ,lol

this smells of a drug dealer doing a run up the road and having to ditch whatever was in the car before he caught stopped.
thats why he looks so smug the cunt
