I wish the guy had done us all a favour and removed himself from the gene pool.
Sounds like the ultimate crash test dummy.

According to the telegraph:

Nottinghamshire police confirmed his version of events.

A spokesman said: "Kevin was monitored doing in excess of 100mph and is lucky to have walked away with minor injuries.

"He phoned 999 to say that his brakes weren't working and was terrified for his life."

The racing green R-reg car, which Mr Nicolle had had for a year, has been examined by police and he has been told he will not face prosecution.

A spokesman for BMW, which wants to examine
If true - I'd like to bloody well know why he won't face prosecution. Notts police are quite happy to fine people for driving at 41mph on the inner ring road. :thumbsdown:

Look at the distance he covered without coming up with a way to stop the car:



The more you think about it the more ridiculous it gets.
