Pro Tip: If You Hit 164mph On A Public Road, Don't Post Photo Evidence Online

Doing 164mph on a public road - unless it’s an empty piece of de-restricted autobahn - is a fairly stupid thing to do. Posting photographic evidence of the offence on Twitter? That goes above and beyond the realms of regular idiocy.

And yet, that’s precisely what 29-year-old boxing promoter Jamie Syndercombe allegedly did on the A1 dual carriageway near Leeds in a presumably de-limited Audi S5. He posted a picture of the speedo hitting 164mph on Twitter (see above), and on his Facebook profile.

Syndercombe, a boxing promoter and trainer, made what looks like a reference to newspaper stories about the high-speed run on his Twitter page this morning.

Don't believe everything you hear in the papers that's all I'm saying.. #

According to SWNS, Lincolnshire police are “aware and investigating.” Syndercombe, meanwhile, has been quoted as saying “There is no proof to show it was me in the car at all, and there’s no proof to even show it was on the A1 in Leeds…. don’t we all like make stories up now and again, just to try and show off, just to try and make ourselves feel a little bit better about ourselves?”
