There's no mention in that article of his car becoming "a potential
missile", so that's obviously the difference.

 

Good for him.

 

Heh. Reading the comments from that entry, I quite liked the phrase, "If it
ain't broke, fix it until it is".

 

Daytona?

The usual po-faced wankers will doubtless pop up, from Brake, etc.

and in another surprising verdict, a plod that crashed after hitting water
at 120mph has been jailed after being convicted of dangerous driving.

that oval track thing in Italy ... long name.. sounds like...
zzzzzzz

 

It's currently the 'track' where the highest ever lap average speed has
been recorded, according to the Guinness Book of Records.

None, but you didn't specify race circuit, simply track.

Yes, all guns blazing this weekend hopefully

I think if he had said, "mea culpa", accepted liability and presumably a
lesser charge, he would've been Champed or darsied. He chose to go to
court, all guns blazing, not guilty plea and was found to be a bit of a
****. **** him and the panda he rode in on.

 

I'm quite touched that you are so concerned about someone from Swansea

 

What are these verbs, Champ and darsy?
Anything to do with poles?

 

Don't think you're too old to go over my knee, young man.

So that copper last year in North Wales who was doing far higher speeds
while 'testing' his car was let off, but this guy wasn't. Only
difference I can see is this guy crashed, thus proving his driving was
'dangerous'. I wonder if a clever lawyer could force a precedent from
that? I'll certainly be remembering these two cases if I'm ever up for
a dangerous driving charge just for speeding.

Points and/or fine, as opposed to bird.

One got caught speeding and received points and a fine, the other got
caught filtering at speed on a motorway and got a fine for careless.

Am I supposed to be doing something with those?

 

My best were:
120 on the M42. I could have gone for a month's ban or 3 points.
I chose the former as I already had 9 points.
~130 on the M1. 3 points. It was a very long time ago.
But my name is already a verb....
