Driving at almost 160km/h in a 60km/h zone is not all that bright. Less so is actually posting a video of your exploits on YouTube.
According to Japanese police, an executive driving a Lamborghini at more than twice the speed limit has been nabbed after he posted a video chronicling his racing exploits.
The 38-year-old man whizzed around the western city of Hiroshima at 156km/h in a zone restricted to just 60km/h during his joyride two years ago.
He reportedly rigged a video camera inside the Italian sports car and later uploaded the footage to video-sharing website YouTube, where a viewer saw the footage and reported it to police, authorities said.
Police eventually found the man and arrested him for traffic violations.
Explaining his need for speed, the executive reportedly said: “I enjoyed the sound of the engine and the speed.”
The YouTube posting has since been removed. -IOL & AFP
