Police found the videos on his mobile phone.
He was found guilty of 4 counts of dangerous driving and sentenced to 28 months in prison and banned from driving for 10 years.
Googling his name shows that he was someone well known to the Police.

hole.His daughter Jordan Davis, aged 23, of Hove Road, Rushden, was found guilty of inciting or encouraging an offence of Dangerous Driving. She was given a two year driving disqualification and an 18 month conditional discharge.
Never heard of that charge before. I reckon they seized his phone on an unrelated matter and then pinned him on those charges.
Seems crazy that you can get that much jail time for speeding yet you can kill someone in a car through inattention and get a suspended sentence.
Looks like the ambient temperature sensor in the car is borked, 1.40 in and it says -12.5 outside when it's a nice day in summer time.

We're letting all sorts of violent criminals walk the streets but we'll put someone behind bars for driving offences.

"A BRAZEN drug dealer who made up to £750,000 selling cocaine and cannabis has been jailed for 11 years.
Arrogant Shaun Davis repeatedly bragged: "Crime does pay."
However, after more than 10 years dealing drugs in the Rushden area the 34-year-old, who had homes in Grangeway and Newton Road, Rushden, was caught by police who installed a bugging device in his car.
He was jailed yesterday at Northampton Crown Court and now the proceeds from years of drug dealing could be seized.
Benjamin Aina, prosecuting, said: "This is the commercial supply of cocaine in the Rushden area between 2003 and 2004. Davis openly flaunted his criminality and made no secret of the fact he was a drug dealer. He had, for example, a set of registration plates marked 'Drugy'."
A similar set of plates carried the words "Crime does pay" – an expression Davis often used when laundering his proceeds by paying cash to fund a luxury lifestyle. The court heard the lavish lifestyle included buying a Ferrari Spider for 35,000, buying a home with his mother for 249,995 and using 10,500 of drugs money to buy a spa pool.
Between April 2003 and September 2005, 483,000 passed through his nine bank and credit card accounts despite him never having worked."
"A group of people accused of running a drug-money laundering operation in Northamptonshire have appeared in front of a judge.
Eleven of the 13 defendants alleged to have taken part in the Northamptonshire-wide conspiracy appeared at Northampton Crown Court yesterday.
Of those to appear in the dock Shaun Davis, 42, of Crow Lane, Billing Aquadrome, stood accused of conspiracy to produce cannabis in Northamptonshire alongside Jason Hobbs, 45, of Glassbrook Road, Rushden; Neil Brookes, 38, of Wilfred Avenue, Northampton; Robert Allen, 24, and Jordan Davis, 22, of Hove Road, Rushden.
The Crown Prosecution Service alleges money made from the drug enterprise was laundered through the purchase of several items registered under the names of others.
Davis is accused of buying a £20,000 ‘Plaza Grande’ caravan at Billing Aquadrome as well as a number of vehicles, namely a Kawasaki motorbike, an Audi RS6, a Lexus and a Range Rover with money made from the sale of drugs."
My guess is that this might have had an impact on sentencing....

If you commit one (or in this case many more than one) crime, you can then expect to be sentenced heavily for a completely unrelated driving offence?
I wouldn't have known that, so I've learned something new here if that's how it works.

Footage showed Jordan entering the drivers side of a Nissan GTR. She is then believed to have switched into the passenger side of the car and encouraged the driver, before the car reached excess speeds.
