Teenager Posts Youtube Video of 140mph Jaunt

Teenagers, especially boys, think they are invincible.

Put them behind the wheel of a car and the stupidity is exponential – to the degree of the speed they are going.

A 19-year old in southwest Scotland took his Ford Escort for a 140mph cruise, filmed it and put it on Youtube…now, no longer there.

I find it hard to believe that a Ford Escort can go that fast, but that’s a different story. Maybe, the Youtube was to prove his Escort could go that fast. Ford is probably trying to get their hands on it.

Anyway, a police sergeant said the boy was “completely foolish.”

“Not only did he endanger his own life, but that of other road-users. It is unacceptable, and to post a recording of such driving on the Internet is entirely stupid.”

Uh…my brother once turned up his Ford something back in the 1960s. He and his buddies went speeding about and found themselves being chased by cops.

They outran the cops!

But…my brother felt guilty and decided to GO BACK to apologize to the police.

They accepted his apology by throwing him in jail.

My dad told him he did two stupid things:

1. outrun the cops

2. go back

Let’s see….the teenager did how many stupid things?
