Its a new landspeed record!

Lets just be thankful it wasnt Richard Hammond driving it else someone could have gotten hurt.

420 mph in a Vauxhall Cavalier, so much for the laws of physics.

He was only getting £60 and 3 points?

Shouldn't he have been getting a £6000 fine and 300 points?

I'd love to have seen his face when he opened the letter.

I presume "employee processing error" means that they shouldn't have hired that person.
