How can you report someone for dangerous driving off a vid?

Isn't that a tutorial on how to do a commentary on the advanced driving test?
.....the only difference being that you don't drive like a 
on an Advanced driving course. I cannot remember how many No No manoeuvres he undertook but it was quite a lot in 3 odd minutes. If PHs or YouTube can be arsed, it should be a piece of cake to find this pillock.Edited by normal bloke on Thursday 17th April 19:28

I don't believe for one minute he is travelling at the speeds he says he is. Either that, or my perception of speed is seriously off kilter.
By the commentary on the video, I think that the video poster is looking for a reaction. It has to be a wind up.
You may well be correct but even if he was only just pipping the speed limits, there's enough evidence there to put him in the Tower for life! Having said that, he's probably done his homework and covered his tracks sufficiently knowing that the Police will only go so far in an effort to a) find him and b) prosecute. It's only baffling for the majority of us because we, as law abiding chaps who like a bit of fun every now and then when we exceed 70 on a motorway for a couple of miles, live on a completely different planet to this prick.By the commentary on the video, I think that the video poster is looking for a reaction.

There are so many bits in that where im in disbelief, how anyone can remain calm and collected whilst repeatedly overtaking into oncoming traffic.
Ive done bad overtakes before, but when i do, i realise, i slow down, accept the fact that i was getting a bit overoptomistic and re-evaluate what im up to.
That overtake on the 120d was simply crazy.
As to his commentary - I couldnt care less what speeds you are managing to reach, i want to know why you think your speed is appropriate and what hazards have you seen that are causing you to change your speed.
When i am driving too fast and providing a commentary i come out with corkers like "Im just going to pass these two cars, but first of all im going to slow down" as did scott at 1:28
Im not a big one for reporting bad driving, i believe we all make mistakes, but when someone is making the same mistakes over and over and not learning the lessons, then they deserve what they get!

By the way, I'm not acting as an apologist for this prat; someone driving just like this took my old mans best mate off his bike and put him in a wheelchair for 8 months. It's just that there is something distinctively fishy about this video. Why would you post videos of you driving like a bell, commentating how you are smashing the speed limit and acting like an all round grade A? It just doesn't make sense?
It makes perfect sense. The guy's clearly an utter moron.i suspect the guy knows a little bit about how to get away with it, or at least thinks he does
assume the name is genuine and it was fairly easy for the police to track him down, i would have though exercising his right to remain silent would make it very difficult for the police to prosecute, without being able to pin the video to a date and time and/or anything to prove it was his vehicle in the film, they could not do him for failure to identify the driver.
his voice is the only thing which ties him to the video, but if he were to claim he did the voice over later and someone else was the driver, i would certainly be prepared to believe that is possible.
And actually watching the video i would not be at all surprised to find out the voice was done in post production, it seems far to clean and clear to be recorded by a mic on a dash cam which is clearly being thrown about in a car doing 100+ mph, not to mention he seems remarkably calm throughout it
