    What an idiot. No doubt the muppet is driving around today. Fools like him cause accidents. In my opinion he should be jailed instantly

    I’m still on the imperial system! 130mph is crazy speed. I’m glad he’s off the road.

    The youth speeding around this country in cheap modified cars are the unsung heroes of our time.

    The average 1.6 litre engine today will reach speeds of 130mph, nothing got to do with modified engines, it’s time to put limiters on cars or pay a higher insurance premium
