Are you blind? He goes straight over the double white line on the corner. After he had turned onto the road. Whilst accelerating at full throttle in a 30mph zone.


I am i blind?
did you actually read what i wrote?



He clearly started on the other side of the white line
sure he could have been fully on the right side of it a couple of seconds earlier by crossing at a sharper angle, but there is no specific law broken because he didn't

It's certainly possible he did exceed the speed limit, especially if it is indeed a 30 limit before the national speed limit, but there isn't compelling evidence, and certainly won't be over 60 as you are claiming.

I had a BMW this time last year.

As for the former, still working on that! Going well, too.

Yes, he started on the other side. But if you watch his tyre positions you can see he was about 7/8ths on the left hand side of the double whites before the corner and then 4/8ths across it ON the corner.
Tell me do you drive down the road in the middle of double white lines? No? So it is not legal then is it.



As for speed, do you mean the 30 mph signs and road marking in the area he accelerates in...in the video that you claim to have watched in full but somehow completely missed?


How can you not see that? I suggest sitting closer to your monitor and you might not miss it this time around.

Well my favourite part of the video is at 5:30. Blonde guy says about the Armytrix exhaust 'not only is it worse on fuel economy because the valves are open'. Really. biggrin It's a far too raspy noise to my ears, a bit like the R32 and M3 3.2 exhausts are. When modified with resonators you get a nice smooth but loud wail from a six cylinder, not unlike a 355:

Difference on a 350z when you take off the resonator:

Do you really have nothing more interesting to do in your life that you really care this much that he has strayed over the white lines for a second or 2 and in doing so has caused literally no impact to anyones life but yours apparently

I find it hilarious that this is OK when it is a GTR but if it is another car, like a family hatchback, the same people are all over the guy in other threads for breaking the law biggrin

Got any examples of these other threads? As far as I've seen it is usually the same response when the 'law breaking' is as trivial and of such little importance to anyone but the offended OP as this one

Crossing of solid lines in such a reckless dangerous manner, especially when there's no oncoming traffic.

...I agree. It was dangerous. He should have just hit whoever may be standing in the road filming which would have been much safer.

Brilliant. When you've got your millions, you can buy a fleet of supercars and then film yourself driving them around like you're on your driving test. It'd be a much better use of your time than trawling youtube, desperately trying to get people into trouble for doing something you yourself will have done countless times.

According to the law, exactly how soon does he have to be fully on his own side of the road? (can you quote the specific distance - thanks)

Well someone who does have a fleet of supercars, as an example is Shmee150.

You NEVER see videos either FROM or OF him crossing double white lines or speeding in 30 zones.

If he can manage to obey the law why can no one else?

You could say Ekziel or whatever GTR guy's name is is a role model for his fan demographic, therefore is it a great thing to show your average 16 year old that when you buy a quick car you should just drive it like you do in grand theft auto?
