People driving dangerously in youtube videos?
Discussion
Just watching this video and whilst we can all cheer on a fast GTR I can't help but think someone driving a 600hp GTR so recklessly is a danger to other people?

Broken the law twice in the first 5 seconds for f
ks sake!? (greater than 60 speed, crossing double white lines).
What is the general consensus for this kind of behaviour? Is it ok if you have a fast car or what?

If you watch the video from 4:15 you see that clip in the first 5 seconds in full
He's actually pulling out of a layby to turn right, which is why he is the wrong side of the double white lines, which is perfectly legal, and very unlikely he hit anywhere near 60 in the 4 seconds or so of acceleration before the brakes come on, it was hardly a full on drag racing launch. It was a blast of throttle, while still turning on a cold wet road
And in the rest of the video i see nothing particularly reckless at all, just maybe a few blasts of acceleration in tunnels, I'll probable do worse than is show in that video on an average sunday drive.
This thread just proves how eager people are to vilify other people for thier driving.
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.He's actually pulling out of a layby to turn right, which is why he is the wrong side of the double white lines, which is perfectly legal, and very unlikely he hit anywhere near 60 in the 4 seconds or so of acceleration before the brakes come on, it was hardly a full on drag racing launch.

A 600hp+ GTR hits 60 in how many seconds?
If I had posted the same thread about a 1 litre saxo doing this I wonder if reaction would differ.

I see the quality of your threads on here are similar to the ones you used to post on OCUK 
Ahh yes, OCUK. The place where crossing double whites and other illegalities is perfectly acceptable if you own a BMW (or honda if you are poor(or a mondeo if you are an idiot)) but a criminal act punishable by hanging if you own any other brand of car.

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.
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.did you actually read what i wrote?

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.

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.
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?
