UK Police Jail Soccer Star For Posting Video Of Him Doing 191MPH On Public Roads

If you’re going to commit serious driving offenses, creating your own video evidence for the prosecution probably isn’t the smartest move. But British semi-professional soccer player Connor Charlton was jailed for four years after filming himself driving a BMW X3 M at up to 191 mph (307 kmh) on public roads.

 

The 32-year-old striker for Nostell Miners Welfare FC recorded far more than one ridiculous high-speed run. Other footage reportedly showed him weaving between traffic deep into triple-digit speeds, launching from a stop light and reaching 157 mph (253 kmh), and drifting the performance SUV around a roundabout while someone else filmed.
