Description: In what was effectively an open-and-shut case, a Japanese doctor has been jailed for 6 months and fined 1,000 Euros after posting a video of himself driving 3 times the speed limit in his Ferrari 458 ...Add Comments28
Alexander GomezMar 15, 2012 He had some nice driving gloves to match the 458.
Pratik ParijaMar 15, 2012 Guy knows how to handle sports car. Good job but sucks he got caught & dang go to jail for 6 months!!
Nick ChristensenMar 14, 2012 No need for jail time. Fine the crap outta him, or suspend license. But no jail....just ridiculous
Jairo GarciaMar 14, 2012 LMAO fail. He could pass the Porsche and he gets arrested for speeding, double fail
Pierre E JeanMar 13, 2012 The guys knows how to drive
Pierre E JeanMar 13, 2012 The guys knows hot to deive
Ben WatsonMar 13, 2012 I agree this is ludicrous. No reason for jail time.
Jake MarraMar 13, 2012 @riley....yea but u didnt videotape it
Esteban Copaja ThielemannMar 13, 2012 I'm really surprised, I've seen this in London too, is it legal to drive a left handed car in those countries!?? I mean, is very dangerous.
Riley BullerMar 13, 2012 6 months for doing 77 in a 25? I tripled the speed limit in a 45 zone once didn't get caught but that's ridiculous
Blake ChapmanMar 13, 2012 The 458 is definitely one of my favorite cars and those coastal roads look like a blast to drive. Maybe except for the fact that it looked like the road was barely big enough for one car let alone two. But drivin a 458 along the coast is a dream.
John SerelyMar 13, 2012 @Arvid the money may not matter to him, but he will lose 6 months of his life in jail. That and because he is a doctor, he may lose clients/lose his job. Not to mention social issues, so I feel pretty bad for this guy. BTW I still think he is a dumbass for posting something like this on youtube
Carlton SalmonMar 13, 2012 I thought he drove well considering the empty road conditions, he obviously knew those roads well. Exciting to watch a car like this being driven along a lovely coast road but I'm not for one second condoning this. Money and sense don't go together.
Justin RouthMar 13, 2012 I blame the guy in the Porsche. He started it lol
Dillon DixonMar 13, 2012 I personally thought he was a pretty good driver until he got onto the road at the last half. He almost hit a few people.
Arvid CremerMar 13, 2012 Mehhh 1000 euros is probably nothing for him.
Matty MichaelsMar 13, 2012 Going 100 through a blind corner on public roads IMO should deserve some penalty (he almost had a head on collision around 4:00)
Patrick SchalkMar 13, 2012 BTW, what was that car in front of him? Looked like a GT2 but I couldn't tell.
Patrick SchalkMar 13, 2012 A dude from Oklahoma City did this same thing awhile back in a twin turbo Vette. He got his car impounded and sold on eBay but I don't know if he got jail time. He was doing at least 170-190 in his vid. Be careful what you post on YouTube.
Emmanuel IrizarryMar 13, 2012 Haa. I saw this in the news yesterday, I was like I be carbuzz will put it on
NalaKingMar 13, 2012 @Chris B
Then purhase one and show us how you drive a 458 Italia.
NalaKingMar 13, 2012 @chris
That is the converted currencies.
Chris BensonMar 13, 2012 How about fining the guy for poor driving skills instead? Downshifting too early, and poor apex acceleration.
Fine -5 xp, and -2 manta
P_R_N_DMar 13, 2012 Finally someone making a video without adding their own gay music soundtrack. That's the kind of music I like to hear... engine.
Chris BjorgolfssonMar 13, 2012 Why was he fined in Euros if he was in Fukuoka, Japan?
Daniel BellafonteMar 13, 2012 When it's on a public road and not on a track of course the authorities will take a keen interest in it. Granted it is a harsh sentence and heavy handed but I guess they want and need to make an example out of someone.
Barry Boo WilsonMar 13, 2012 Imagine that. Getting jail time for recording yourself do something illegal and city streets. Darn.
Donte PerinoMar 13, 2012 So people are looked down upon for posting videos of their car doing its "proper" speed?
Description: According to the boastful doctor, "I wanted to make a Ferrari promotional video," which is all well and good, but going 77mph in a 25mph zone is asking for trouble. Japanese paper The Mainic...Add Comments5
Ryan FitzgeraldMar 14, 2012 that's why you live in 'merica! the maximum penalty for a first offense here is $500....
Cody MatthewsMar 13, 2012 6 months for not even doing over 100???
Jake TazikMar 13, 2012 I wouldn't say distance/time=speed is advanced physics. Eighth grade physics at best
wmgMar 13, 2012 that's bullshit. the law shouldn't be able to prosecute someone for posting a video unless someone other than the driver actually got hurt.
