Not sure if that is stock colour for #Audi #S3 - could be one of those wraps which are fashionable nowadays - Lad wasn't also charged for TWOC (taking without consent) so he hadn't nicked #car - doesn't appear to have previous, nor crop up on social media where those into #hooning congregate.
Which begs the question of why so many people were enabling him to drive without valid #insurance and to ignore traffic laws (parents? siblings?)
There's this fucked up double standard in British society where taking hard drugs or getting into a fight is viewed as #crime - but anything in a car is overlooked, even though it can lead to injuries and fatalities..

“The record-breaking figures highlight the success of the Met’s ongoing crackdown on the illegal modification and dangerous use of two-wheelers, helping to improve #roadsafety and cut crime across #London.
The news comes soon after a different #UK force, West Midlands Police, had to reverse their decision to prosecute a Birmingham #cyclist after wrongly seizing and destroying a legal #eBike worth £6,500” https://cyclingindustry.news/met-police-set-new-record-and-seize-2500-illegal-ebikes-and-escooters/ -

Working with Brian Rogers, of the UCD Spatial Dynamics Lab, Dublin Inquirer's Collision Tracker has recently been updated:
https://www.collisiontracker.ie/?ref=mastodon
It now includes not only hazards, near misses, and collisions reported by users, but also years of data from the Road Safety Authority.

Recognised #Clacton straight away on this #ITV report about #DUI and #DrugDriving
#Essex #Police #RPU ( #RoadsPolicingUnit ) sarge seems to be taking fashion tips from Alexander Lukashenko , and lass nicked for #cannabis use behind the wheel doesn't come across as sharpest tool in the box..
#Cops divulge how they check for minor #traffic violations as a reason to stop drivers for the DUI check (sleep deprivation caused by #drugs can lead to these)
TBH wasn't expecting the #DPD driver to be positive as these companies tend to do their own drug tests, though he should really have been wearing his #seatbelt

An #Audi #driver in South #Essex got #prison for #driving at 110 mph ( 177 km/h ) on the highway - this is well over the 50mph (80 km/h) limit for that area. he crashed into 3 #Council workers on ride on lawnmowers, causing 2 of them serious injury (hence #jail time even after a guilty plea).
He claimed the "brakes locked up" - vehicle was a mid 2000s Audi S3 ( Typ 8P ) which has very good brakes with ABS if well maintained, but those won't save anyone from driving too fast for the conditions - in a car review from that era there's warnings against pushing it to the rev limiter and that it can become "uncomposed" - the video from the #Police clearly shows him doing exactly that..

In a turbulent world of increasing division, we can all agree that everyone who sets out on a journey, to work, to school, to see the people they love, should reach their destination safely.
I call on world leaders to ensure new UN declaration on #RoadSafety becomes more than words on a page. -

✔️ One drink driver was arrested six times by Gardaí in 2025 - 277 more than once
✔️ The youngest drink driver was aged 14
✔️ The oldest drink driver was 95
✔️ The highest alcohol level detected was nine times over the legal limit for fully licensed driversIs it any wonder that the Director of the Medical Bureau of Road Safety is a retired coroner?
Remember to wear your plastic hats and hi viz, folks: it's up to you to "be seen."

Everyone who sets out on a journey deserves to arrive safely.
Yet every minute, more than two people lose their lives on the world’s roads.
Jean Todt and I have arrived in New York for the UN High Level Meeting on #RoadSafety with one message for world leaders: invest in safer road systems now! -
AI is being put to work protecting both drivers and wildlife. A new trial on the Monaro Highway south of Canberra will combine thermal imaging and movement detection to alert motorists when large animals are approaching the roadside. Smarter roads could save lives—human and animal alike.
