YouTube Ferrari driver nicked for speeding in Japan

[John S]

He posted footage of Ferrari sports car drive on YouTube.         

According to the newspaper, Mainichi Daily News, police determined the speed of the car based on the distance covered and the time elapsed.

A police spokesman told the AFP news agency that the driver, a 50-year-old doctor, from Okawa, was identified from the footage, and he could face a six month jail sentence or a fine of up to $1,220 (£778) if convicted. 

So it's not just adolescents and chavs who post stupid things on the web. 

Nice drive along the coast though.

I'm more impressed that he didn't crash! 

Putting on his red Ferrari driving gloves at the 2:05 mark was cute. Guy can't downshift properly but hey, more money than brains is the way of the world these days.

Wonder why he went for a left hooker? After all the Japs drive on the correct side of the road.
