The Sun Online - News: Cops quiz 150mph web bragger

A lesson to us all - but it's also good to see The Sun engaging in worthwhile investigative journalism...

just look at him!

All together now......................DDUUUUUUUUUHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! What a plonker, still, not bad for a Vauxhall :eek:

If you did that speed to acquire evidence of someone else's offence the Police response would be that you didn't have an appropriately calibrated instrument. Such being the case, I don't see how they can proceed in this case, since "being a plank on a web forum" is not an offence!

Surely with just an uploaded photo, who is to say that it wasn't photoshopped in order to give the impression of the car going at that speed? I'm not saying that that is the case, but with the many wizards of photoshop these days I'm sure that it wouldn't be that hard.

I can't see how this fella can be prosecuted as they don't seem to have any proof a) it happened, he was driving, c) it was his car involved, d) the speed he was doing. I guess if they caught him on the overhead gantry CCTV, they might have some evidence and be able to work out the speed using the mile markers, but I can't see it sticking really....
