I've mentioned in a couple of threads on here how it's a bad idea to post videos of meets or other things where drivers are clearly driving illegally. Here is what happens in the UK when you do it ... http://news.sky.com/skynews/article/...299154,00.html
This wasn't just a small news story, this was HEADLINE news on the biggest news company in the UK. These guys will be caught and prosecuted without doubt.
The user of the video has already pulled the video from YouTube - it had only received 7 views before it was pulled - so clearly the police are seriously monitoring the site for this kind of thing. Sky News have an exercpt of the video posted within the above article.

They are mad, seriously .
Happened here too that who uploaded on YT a clip of a run at 220-250 kmh was catch by the police .
Ridicolous .
The suggestion is to frame only the cluster, so you can always say you were on the track .

Or do the actual video from the track (where high speed driving should be done) to avoid the issue in the first place.

Naaaa, it's ok on the motorway on Sunday at 7am .
The clips that Andy done, despite he was in Germany, was dangerous, although in Germany there are no limits .
If you get 290 kmh on a 3 lanes motorway, at 7 am on Sunday .. No risks for nobody .
