WARNING: the rap audio background is definitely NSFW.


I remain amazed why people film themselves and provide documented evidence of their break of the law.

That's some pretty appalling driving... I enjoy "making progress" but not on a busy road and weaving in and out like that, shocking

We've seen a tool doing that on the M1 during morning rush hour...twice.

He's pulling 100+, using all lanes and the hard shoulder.

Where's plod when you need him?

That American lad should be jailed for listening to that rap crap.

Driving like that occurs on the UK motorways every day.

That's nice for you, does everyone else concentrate like that and expect concentrating drivers who are "making progress" to be charging past many 10's of mph faster than the limits?

Perhaps using phrases like "making progress" and speeds in "leptons" softens the impact.

You should approach DfT immediately to propose your safe driving method so it can benefit the world.

Shutup you tool.

Don't assume Croyde's "making progress" = MANY 10's over and above other people or even that there is anyone else around when he is. rolleyes

I think you're on the wrong site.

No, but that's because most drivers rely on others to kowtow to their lack of concentration and ability to judge the speed of other vehicles which is sadly why we have to have such stupidly low limits.

Like everything in this country we cater for the lowest end of the gene pool rather than preventing them from driving and letting those of us with a decent IQ get about their business properly.

Anyway I'm off to London and intend to make plenty of progress when the road conditions allow.... so I suggest you, being a sensitive little soul, stay at home today :-)

Let's face it, he deserves it - for the green wheels alone.

Perhaps the weight of that speaker assembly on the rear shelf upset the corner weighting on his grampa's car causing him to lose the rear end and subsequently put him in hospital when it clouted him on the back of the head.

Yeah... as ever it's not doing the speed that's the issue. Not clever.

Am I missing something here? When he is filming himself he appears to be in the passenger seat!

I think he's switching between selfie and front facing camera with the selfie image horizontally flipped.

Have to admit, given that he hit a bloody great big binwagon at 100mph+ without a seatbelt on, and with a sodding great big unsecured lump of whatever in the back seat... it's a minor miracle they weren't hosing him away.

The guy is a bell end, but i'm always amazed at the arrogance of people assuming that they are fantastic enough to drive over the speed limit.
Why the hell is there any exception? Speeding is speeding, yes most people if not all do it, but this insistence of trying to say you somehow are some driving God and your immune to a crash is dense. Also that along with the frankly immature nudge nudge wink wink "i drive fast me yeah innit" mentality.
If you speed on the roads you are a bell end. Regardless of who you are, age, colour, background, sort of car you drive...simple.


Do track days or race then brag all you want...
No reason as to why someone who doesn't think speeding on the roads is 'cool' should still come onto pistonheads is there?

Have you actually watched the video?

In UK terms, if you really think the most serious offence he was committing was "exceeding the speed limit", then...

Yes hence why i said hes a bell end, but I was responding to a poster i should of quoted it, sorry.
Surely you can only dream of speeding in a 2CV?

So "speeding" isn't what he was doing. He was driving dangerously.
