Apparently this is pretty cool over on the RS forums. Quite sure the polis could easily track this guy down and prosecute him. Why would anyone be daft enough to post a video like this on Youtube?? :roll:

edit: infact, why would anyone be daft enough to drive like this on a public road?

I've heard of motorbikers being done by them tracking down the videos and then prosecuting for dangerous driving (wheelies and so on) so pretty sure they could get this guy for the fair amount of red lights he ran.

At first the vid seemed sped up but when he overtook the other car i guessed otherwise. Someone has been watching transporter a bit too much!

That video is running at a higher speed than what the real time recording was.....easy to tell in parts. However, running red lights and handbrake turns are stupi on public roads, what a prat.

I did one in Dundee in the Vx last year. Not the centre but landmarks, up the law, along riverside, over the bridge, along the river in broughty ferry.

I drove at speed limits through out though (seriously, I fear points, plus it was for a competition so wasn't likely to break the law on camera!) Sped the video up maybe 10x was quite cool if a little benny hill :-)
