Ooh, this one is going to sting a bit.

Crikey.

What a moron

[Driver101]

Three months of guessing is a bit long.

Bloody hell ... that wouldn't be my choice of road to speed on! Even without the clearly visible speed cameras ...

[ashleyman]

What a record! Top speed ever recorded on camera in the uk apparently.

Guessing if he drives like that passed marked cameras 3 times and doesn't show up to court he gives zero monkies!

[Gameface]

That looks like a Lithuanian name. I know a few blokes from there. They drive like loons.

"Convicted in his absence" - do you reckon he'll have gone home never to return and this was his swansong?

[PaulD86]

From the pic, do we think he might have been on the brakes a bit at the time?

lol was thinking that. Quite a lot of weight transfer to the front. That must be a pretty gutting feeling to see a speed camera too late, whilst going that ridiculously fast. Little sympathy though.

Convicted of speeding x3. Not on a motorway and therefore the maximum sentence is a £1000 fine (for each offence) and a discretionary disqualification from driving.

Everything and everyone would've been obliterated.

So the bloke from the Speed Camera Partnership isn't a Physics graduate?

Good grief. Is that Kilo-miles per hour? 233,000 mph? He's pressing on.

Nope, but sadly he doesn't have to be to get the authorities to listen to him!

He could "almost guarantee"...

Are you sure? Those Audi’s have that ‘Lambo derived’ V10. I reckon they could go that fast.

Not on brakes, no rear window brake light. That's reflection from the camera flash.

He's obviously not bothered if he's done it 3 times.

He's a Lithuanian, so with Brexit on the horizon had probably just decided to have some fun before returning home. He'll be back in Vilnius by now, and as he probably has no intention of ever returning he won't be remotely bothered, knowing the Lithuanian authorities would never co-operate with the UK police in respect of speeding offences.
