Tosser. Thanks. As someone said above, we all get tarred with your (stupid) brush now. If you do it and are prepared to bend over and take the consequences, fair enough but to admit it and to post evidence of it in public must take an extra special level of stupidity. Whatever you do, don't forget the 11th Commandment boys & girls.

IN response to what someone was saying about whether he can be "done" or not....I thought that digital photos could not be used as photographic evidence as they can be edited? What's to stop this idiot telling the police that the photos have been "played" with? I didnt see the original thread so I can't comment on the photos (erm like i just did above!)

[GerryM]

Great news! A quote from one of our older, wiser members on his original post about doing 150mph "Doing it is your own free will, nowt anybody on here can do about that. Posting pics of it on a public forum - at best very very stupid Posting pics of it on a public forum and then trying to pull the wool over peoples eyes and deny it's on a British motorway - I'm lost for words. You knew it would get a reaction before posting it, so you deserve all you get IMO " I think he is about to get all he deserves!!! Gerry

On a serious note can the lad actually be charged with anything? I mean they say something about the times on the photos but I cant remember seeing any.

Was just talking to the lads at work and they all think that he cant be properly charged maybe just warned / cautioned.

I agree. Not enough evidence i would have thought. Can't prove who is behind the wheel.

Argggh, my "I once shot a man" comment in the same thread suddenly seems a little bit misguided.......

Well all I can say is what a Tool. It was only a matter of time before something like this happened - it's just a shame that it's happened to the VX community and not Corsasportwithneons.com!!!! I think to date that no one has been prosecuted for speeding from video evidence they have personally taken. I'm sure there was the recent case of the biker on you-tube who filmed from his from his front door and then doing speeds upto 150mph but they could only give him a warning. My personal opinion is throw the book at him. This website is not about boasting how fast you've gone, or how sideways you got on a public highway. Quite frankly it is boasting about how you are endangering the lives of others!! I hope others will now take a warning from this

[SamVx]

Hahaha Posting it on an internet forum was pretty dumb!

[iceman]

The comment that we will all be tared with the same brush is very true and somewhat alarming . Vx'ers had best be warned and be even more vigulent of their speed in light of this (imho) It was nice to see a link to us and equally nice to have our distain noted too. With the photograph posted along with full and proper name, age ect, i fear our antgtv will have few places to hide and hang his name in shame. A lesson to us all i guess. It's not big and it's not clever but boasting about it on an open forum is definately not to be advised. RIP antgtv's ego, good charator and name..and perhaps even driving license and bank balance I don't wish ill for any person upon the planet and i'm not doing so now but if we live by and die by the swards of our own making, then at the very least we have the opportunity to be either proud or ashamed of ourselves. I think antgtv will quite rightfully so, feeling the latter

Could be any VX220 stack. The two pictures cant be linked. Was it him driving or even his car. Im not trying to get Ant off but just discussing the techinical side of his claimed stupidity. Might be a different story if the police got a warrent and got the camera files with the date / time on etc. But I doubt very much they would go to that length.

[Dave]

well that has just made my day its a case of we told you so "cock" I think we were right sorry I just have too will he learn the lesson now? I wonder

[snoopstah]

OMG! I am amused, but equally it must have been someone on here who shopped him out (unless someone at the Sun owns a VX...), which is a bit out of order, in my opinion. I can't see him being prosecuted for anything, because as said, although it's pretty obvious he did it, you can't actually prove it beyond reasonable doubt. But that's not really the point, it's still going to mess up his life. Yes, he shouldn't have done it, and yes, he certainly shouldn't have boasted about it, but there's a pretty good chance that now his friends, his family, his coworkers, his boss, are all going to find out about it, whether he wanted them to or not. Seems a bit much, to me.

out of order NO.... more needs to be done about this type of nutter. He will never learn unless someone actually does something about it. We cant all stand back and watch. ACTION speaks louder than words. He has to be accountable for his actions.

Whoever it was

We could photoshop images of our cars to make them blue then pull off the "Im Sparticus" defence tactics lol... "no thats KPH not MPH guv, Honest" Hey this has just given rise to a new thread, Good excuses for doing 150. Darren...

[NOBLE]

I would guess a few hours after sunrise. And he's shown us a picture of his speedo. I give you that the two of these are not together but he is incinuating their relation.

The photograph of the motorway was taken at 07:26:43 on Sunday 27th May, the photograph of the speedo was taken 16 seconds later at 07:26:59. The photographs are sequential (i.e. there were no other shots taken between the motorway photo and the speedo photo).

How was this information extracted?

[snoopstah]

edit sorry I cant stop

Yes, I'm having difficulty wiping the off my face.

Thinking about it, he asked for publicity by posting about it on here. He's just got a little more than he bargained for.

I guess the thing is I'd rather he got a driving ban and no publicity than getting a warning and every other VX driver being tarred with the same brush.

lmao love the way the "fascicle" claims it responded in hours to work out the exact location blah blah, like any of murdochs monkeys could do anything like that fast..... maybe they should be using these people to find the "missing" (loosest possible terms) child in portugal since they are so "skilled" not condoning his actions but agree with noble on how the feck can digital images and bragging be grounds for a PROPER prosecution since most people talk toilet about figures on the net be it speed, power, torque, price etc and as said the photos could have been taken anywhere (could have even been on a RR with a piccy of the M20 for a giggle....) too many ifs to nail a solid case and a good soliciter would strip the CPS appart on that basis hmm wonder who the grass is, ive a feeling but im sure someone would wave the slander/lible flag like many do thesedays lol

[snoopstah]

How was this information extracted?

Every camera writes something called metadata into the file, which stores a whole bunch of information about what camera was used, what settings, when it was taken, and so on. The data is typically called EXIF data. (In the case of some cameras it can even contain your name, typically entered in when you install the software on your PC, and then transferred into the camera the first time it's connected - although the files in this case did not contain a name).

The data is easy to strip out (if you know about it and know what you're doing) but if it's not been removed (as in the case of the two photographs antgtv posted) anyone with an EXIF data reader (such as the free Windows software Exifer) can simply view all the metadata.

Bugger just noticed he was on the Larini group buy too, well thats our 20% up the river then. But lets not be to harsh and point fingers as I think he may not be the only one to have broken the speed limits in a VX, he may however be the only one that self incriminated himself so deserves a bit of a ribbing over that at least. Does make you consider you own actions a bit now in retrospect, now on with the p1ss taking... Darren...
