After a long and interesting thread here, this is the punishment:
Dangerous driving? My arse. Tell it to the van driver 20 feet from my bumper last night on a NSL country road, in the wet, at 65mph.

taken from another forum said:Just seen this from ages ago - and being the driver of the elise, it was interesting reading everybodies comments.
Should we have been driving escorts, this whole ordeal wouldn't have happened
for the record, i got six months. The engine in the video on the elise was the old supercharged engine. When I sold it, it had a 10k QED engine.
Can laugh about it now, didn't feel the same way when it looked like i may lose by job....

6 month ban, got done for careless driving. They tried to pin Dangerous Driving on us, which carries a criminal record - obviously not good if you work in banking.
It took a year to get to court, every month i'd go to Bow Magistrates and they would adjern it as they couldn't find the video. Finally went to Crown court, i was there for a week. Police had a real chip on their shoulder about it, maybe because we were both quite young. As i've said, if we were in escorts we probably would have got a fixed penalty.
We had good barristers, was amusing seeing the plod getting torn to shreds when asked to repeat what they meant when they were swearing.
Complete waste of time, but beware to anyone driving a nice car. Spirited driving, yes. Dangerous driving, no.
