Earlier this year, a 35-year-old gentleman speed-drove his car – a Nissan GT-R – down a public street in Osaka, Japan at 174 mph (280 kph) while filming himself. It’s considered one of the worst speeding violations ever on a Japanese highway. He then bragged about it by posting it on YouTube, only to get arrested after the police tracked him down. When questioned by police, he said, “I wanted everyone to watch it.”
According to Digital Trends, “News outlets reported that the driver pushed the car to speeds faster than Japan’s famous bullet train, the high-speed rail service that runs almost the length of the entire country.” But the news outlets aren’t accurate, at least not according to Wikipedia, which says that bullet trains travel up to 200 mph.
What’s fascinating about this video is watching the speedometer almost hit its limit.
