Motorist Hits Brakes At 113mph After Spotting Speed Camera

[RobBrady]

Showing a flagrant disrespect for the rules of the road, driver David Richard Judd was captured racing past a group of novice motorcyclists before hitting the brakes after spotting a mobile speed camera van last May.

In video footage of the incident in Lincolnshire, which was captured by the police van, Judd is shown travelling at 113pmh as he races past a group of motorcyclists who are wearing high-visibility jackets.

Sat behind the wheel of a £60,000 Porsche, Judd brakes aggressively after passing the bikers of which he said "I was going pretty fast and I spotted the police camera and slammed on the brakes."

The action caused his vehicle to skid along the road; although thankfully no injuries occurred as a result.

Speaking at court, Judd claimed he had been travelling "faster than he realised" at the time and refuted accusations that he had been showing off.

However, following sentencing, Judd was reported to flippantly dismiss the event - explaining "it was pretty exciting" and "no big deal" but claiming he "won't be doing it again soon".

Punishment for the event has left Judd facing a six-month ban from driving, as well as fines totalling £800.

I agree.........for driving a Porsche.

At least if he had the bottle to continue past the van at that speed he would be one level up from a pratt. i.e. just a moron.

But is 113pmh the same as "pi*sing myself howling"?
