The 2 year #jail sentence (usually 9 months to 1 year served inside) for this bad #driving at an unauthorised #CarMeet (which led to two young passengers being injured) might seem lenient but is in line with current sentencing policy - #driver pleaded guilty at Crown #Court (33-50% immediate sentence reduction), and the lass and her friend got into the car willingly.

TBH I think the driving ban, extra retest totalled #Audi #S3 and 11 years of high #insurance costs when he does go back on the road might serve as more of a lasting punishment than porridge, and hopefully is enough of a lesson that he doesn't repeat such behaviour..

A dangerous driver who clocked speeds of 120mph during an illegal car cruising event in Northampton has been jailed, after he crashed into trees and seriously injured two passengers.

Northampton Chronicle and Echo

I suspected this was from my region here from the Co-op sign, its Peartree Road #Colchester #Essex (there is a #CarMeet and someones behaviour has attracted the constabulary) - unmarked #Police #car was parked in the car park of Hatfields (furniture store)

#Hooning #cars #England

As usual a good in depth report from #ITV (who still excel at #crime reporting) - in which they confirm the lad had indeed been #hooning #cars that belonged to his customers, and worse, he didn't even have a valid #driving #licence or #insurance at the time!

He had tried to delete the videos, but the old bill must have put a #Cellebrite set on his phone - they've got a few of them and work with #AdastralPark for stuff like this, there's also a special #Cybercrime unit that #SuffolkConstabulary operate in some rural area like #Saxmundham

I counted 2 * #BMW, a #Mercedes #AMG and a #GolfR in the video (if you own one of these, be very careful who you trust with #detailing / #valeting or even any #repair work!)

Lad from (now closed) father and son #detailing / #valeting company in #Felixstowe #Suffolk got 4 years #prison for #hooning a customers car in a busy surburban street, and crashing in to a pedestrian leading to a #fatality (whilst this #sentence seems light, its due to a guilty plea at Crown Court (would have started at 10 years otherwise, reduced by 2 years due to offenders young age)

His own middle aged dad didn't set him a very good example and refused to communicate with or compensate the owner of the GTR that was crashed

#Tourism #Australia needs to lift its game.

Dangerous #offroad #hooning is already destroying our beaches and sensitive habitats, and putting people at risk.

The latest #tourismaustralia campaign just amplifies this bad behaviour.

Daft lad at the start, why the fuck keep a live #dashcam running when you are openly committing #driving offences? Interesting insight into the #ANPR and #surveillance capabilities of the #Police (looks like #Cleartone kit with the old skool DOS font overlay)
