This Speeding Bentley's Huge Crash Shows Unforgivable Stupidity
Brace for a serious brown trousers moment, because this horrific accident would be enough to turn any normal human into a poo cannon.
After pulling around a traffic-calming island in May 2014, 74-year-old Tim Edwards’ Ford was totally destroyed when a Bentley being driven at ridiculous speed through a village centre hit a kerb and bounced, still travelling at high speed, straight into him.
The terrifying footage has only recently come to light after all the legal proceedings were finalised. The black Continental GTC is said to have been travelling at up to 85mph along a narrow 20mph street on the outskirts of Amersham, a town in the English Chiltern Hills.
We don’t need to tell you how serious the impact was. Poor Mr Edwards was unharmed, but shocked (as you’d imagine), but the [insert expletive here] in the Bentley came off worse. The coward, 46-year-old Richard Plum, fled the scene but was traced by the blood his busted nose left on the airbag.
He was sentenced to 14 months in jail and banned from driving for four years and seven months. Even going by the date of the crash back in 2014, he’ll still be getting the bus by the time he next goes Christmas shopping.

Young drivers will still be blamed for this.
4x the speed limit…
just a question.. couldnt he be traced simply by his licence plates?
85 in a 20…this guy either had a suicide wish, was crazy, or both. Probably both
Why good cars are all ways have to driven by stupid morons ?

‘£160k’
Crashing a Bentley period is unforgivable. Its almost punishable by death.
More proof that money can’t buy intelligence
BO55 DKY - was actually sold in March 2016 - 22 months after accident, advertised for £50k and pretty much as perfect condition. Someone is in for a shock
