At the risk of being contentious, my comment would be that this sort riding gets us all a bad name with the police and the general public.R8Steve said:
Getting banned for 18 months with an extended retest and £500 costs seems rather excessive for doing a short burnout.
At a guess, dangerous driving conviction carrying a minimum 12 month disqual and extended retest. On this bases sentence is towards bottom end of the scale for this offence (maximum 2 years imprisonment, unlimited fine). Press might talk about particular standout actions, whereas the court would view course of conduct as a whole. The fact it was in a protective case probably meant that the guy couldn't access the microsd card in time.
I have wondered if having a large memory card in your dashcam is a good idea as if you crash and the police seize the vehicle they can (card size dependant) go back through hours of footage to find something to incriminate you.
I like the Mobius actioncam as if you hold down M then pull out the power cable it formats the card.

Doing a burnout on a petrol station forecourt next to the fuel pump doesn't seem the most considerate of things to do.
Granted - but what's illegal about it? Furthermore, how does the road traffic act apply to a petrol station, given that its likely private property/road?I think doing those sorts of speeds, doing wheelies on a public road etc. & then filming it..... That's one hell of a risk & a pretty fking stupid piece of muppetry IMO. Not a great deal of sympathy.

RTA applies in petrol stations just like it does in public car parks etc. Bunch of tools.I think doing those sorts of speeds, doing wheelies on a public road etc. & then filming it..... That's one hell of a risk & a pretty fking stupid piece of muppetry IMO. Not a great deal of sympathy.

Note reference to any other public place, and driving other than carefully.
Would it be possible to do both a careful & safe burnout? Apart from the acrid smoke, which may be an environmental issue, I don't see how this is dangerous..Note reference to any other public place, and driving other than carefully.
