Despite what some may say.. the Police aren't going to be stupid about this, they will have collected a "reasonable amount" of evidence to charge him. They wouldn't have exactly said "It's his video, nick him."
Les Hinks 'found the footage'.

I mean if you are recording sensible driving and happen to be a bit naughty then there is a higher chance if the video is found by the police that you could be prosecuted for t he slightly naughty bit.
Granted in this case the guy was a complete buffoon driving very dangerously.
True.
But they'll also want to demonstrate that they're doing something about it too, given the media attention.
I hope the guy does get done, the driving in the video was ridiculous. I'm not even one of those people that say "lol you should cover your tracks better idiot!" (imo that's even worse, it betrays an intent to do likewise).
Will be watching the case with interest.

its a bit late then isn't it..
if somones driving is careless / dangerous they should be taken off the road BEFORE they get the oppertunity to cause an accident or causing injury or death. driving isn't a right.

Just watched the whole vid, and as a professional editor I can confirm there isn't any ramping(sped up footage) so all the police need to do is find out who was driving.
You can tell by the other things in frame like flashing lights and people walking past. Yes you could track and replace all of these but why bother?

Why the sad face? () - is it because you were wrong or do you feel sorry for him? I hope its the former!
Because I was wrong!

Not exactly Getaway in Stockholm is it? The pedal shots are pure fail too.
Looking forward to the Sequel "Getaway in Bradford"
My thoughts exactly tbh

Already in progress. However, dodging 26speed cameras is not easily done.

Thats actually REALLY well made. They seem to have been very careful to make sure they don't do any major law breaking - infact at no point are the cars going THAT fast, yet it doesnt actually detract from the video in any real way.
I think it's absolutely brilliant even though the cars are really not my thing - it shows that you can still make decent stuff without being a complete ****. I enjoyed watching it far more than I enjoyed watching that prat giving car enthusiasts a bad name driving around Edinburgh.

Top speed runs and drifting on roundabouts?
I do agree it is a good video, apart from the totally unnecessary shaking of the camera but I guess that is "cool".
I guess that was kind of the idea? Although knowing how you defended the Edinburgh video I'm not surprised you found it boring!
There was very little in the way of top speed, just clever camera work...
