YouTube Biker Jailed After Posting Stunt Video Of Himself (VIDEO)

From The Independent. The video in question can be found below.

A motorcyclist who posted footage of himself performing dangerous stunts and speeding at up to 130mph on internet site YouTube was today jailed for 12 weeks.

Sandor Ferenci, 28, performed wheelies, skids and raced on the opposite side of the road around Banbury, Oxfordshire, and then put the footage on the video-sharing website.

Ferenci was also disqualified from driving for two years and ordered to take an extended driving test before he is allowed on the road again after pleading guilty to two counts of dangerous driving at Oxford Crown Court.

Judge Terence Maher told Ferenci that he had carried out "lunatic and grossly irresponsible manoeuvres at considerable speed".

I've always suspected Brits were anti-freedom and were no lovers of lady Liberty. ;-)

Orwell would be chuckling incessantly at what this country has become.

Ya know, it may look irresponsible and dangerous, and it would be if someone without the proper skills and equipment attempted it.

Seems to me that we force people down to the lowest common denominator too often

Doing this kind of stunt riding, with the proper training and equipment, may not be irresponsible and dangerous.

Doing this kind of stunt riding, ON PUBLIC ROADWAYS, regardless of training and equipment, IS irresponsible and dangerous.
