Man jailed after filming himself driving 140 mph

PORTLAND, Oregon (Reuters) – A man who filmed the speedometer of his car while driving more than 140 miles per hour so he could post it on YouTube, ended up in jail on Saturday and the video confiscated, police said.

Stanislav Vadimovich Bakanov was pulled over by police on Oregon Interstate 5 after he was clocked driving his black 2005 BMW at 118 mph. He filmed Sheriff's Deputy Ryan Postlewait as he approached the car.

When Postlewait asked why he was videotaping, Bakanov said he was filming his speedometer, and his arrest, to post on Youtube. The video later revealed that Bakanov had attained speeds in excess of 140 mph.

He was arrested and confined in Marion County jail Saturday night, charged with reckless driving and speeding. It was his third speeding incident in the past year. The video was confiscated and will be used as evidence against him.

Marion County Police spokesman Don Thompson said winds were gusting at up to 50 mph during the day.

"There were tree branches down on the freeway. To be driving at these speeds today was just plain crazy," he said.

Wouldn't the title of this thread suggest the following equation?

Brilliant + BMW Owners = oxymoron :lol:

:confused::confused:Remember, they own BMWs, they do not comprehend simple equations. They only look at themselves in the center vanity mirror and smile.

Nobody ever said that MONEY = BRAINS.
But, sometimes BRAINS = MONEY.


Or, as Ron White so aptly put it, "You can't fix stupid."

Driving 140 on that stretch of I-5 is just plain stupid.

Re: Brilliant BMW owners

Re: Brilliant BMW owners
 

No I think at that point he was really trying to screw himself over...which he managed to do.

Re: Brilliant BMW owners
 

but that one is an s-type and he is going to say something about how his is much better and blah, blah, blah.

Not that he has almost done that in a 1995 SVX at Carlisle. :lol::lol::lol:

Difference is that is on a closed course, not a public road but I'm sure they walked away since Jaguar has the lowest death rate per mile driven of any car in the past 40 years. Probably went and bought a BMW so they could keep the speeds down.

And no Matt, I never almost did that in a 95 SVX. It was too fat to roll but simply fat enough to loose its brakes entirely with fresh fluid in there. That's why I sold it to you and you felt a Chrysler Crossdresser was a better car.:lol:

Jaguars also cure cancer and create rainbows from their tailpipe.
