Jail For Driver Who Filmed Himself At 192mph

A man who filmed himself driving at 192mph has been jailed.

Police have published several videos found on Shaun Davis' mobile phone that show him in a car being raced around Northamptonshire roads.

In one clip his daughter Jordan, 23, is in the car and is apparently heard saying: "If nobody hears from me tomorrow I'm officially dead."

In another a voice is heard counting up along with the speedometer as it climbs to nearly 200mph.

Shaun Davis, previously of Woodpecker Drive, Northampton, pleaded not guilty to multiple counts of dangerous driving in high performance Audis and BMWs.

The 42-year-old cannot be seen in any of the videos and he claimed it was not him.

He was found guilty of four counts of dangerous driving and not guilty of another seven at Northampton Crown Court.

He was sentenced to two years and four months and disqualified from driving for 10 years.

His daughter, of Hove Road, Rushden, was found guilty of inciting or encouraging an offence of dangerous driving.

She was given a two-year driving disqualification and an 18-month conditional discharge.

Detective Inspector Greg Maides said: "After examining Shaun Davis' mobile phones, we found multiple videos of him driving grossly in excess of the maximum national speed limit, with no regard for the safety of other motorists, pedestrians or himself.

"We are satisfied with the result, and hope that this will serve as a deterrent to him in the future."
