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.

There’s a time and a place for everything. If you want to race, go to a racetrack. But if you treat a narrow public road as a Group B rally stage, you deserve what you get.
Well said.
I want to watch some Group B Rallying now
Ikr..these are true infantile pillocks
Or at least wait till it’s night time when there’s nobody driving around or go to a street that nobody drives on.
What a idiot
I think all petrolheads love speed, but still people like these are just stupid and should be banned from driving for more than four years.
These are the f*cktards that give us a bad reputation
I know we like to enjoy driving but this is ridiculous … Sincerely hope Mr. Edward’s wasnt seriously injured …. Couldn’t care less if the Bentley driver is ok or not.
A middle aged man doing immature, irresponsible things is the devil’s way of saying do what you want because you’re rich and successful.
Ikr… shocking and stupid…what was he thinking lmao
What a freaking moron. 14 months isn’t enough for this kind of stupidity. Also going 85 in an 20 zone? in an 2,5 ton car? And don’t mention he put a persons life in danger.
Not 85 in an 80 zone. 85 in a 20 zone.
one year in jail for each kilometres per hour over the limite…
(after all, UK officially use metric systeme, and that will make an higher score, 80 mph is around 120km/h )
The classic thoughts of “I drive a Bentley I can do anything”
14 months is not enough..

Daily Mail and their accurate clickbait car valuations 🤦🏻♂️
Ikr….
People like this shouldn’t ever be allowed to drive a car again.
He wont be. What he did gets you banned in the UK. As stated it was for nearly five years. With how severe the crash and sentencing was, he probably wont be insured by anyone for several years afterwards. I’d imagine a good 8 years before he can actually be behind the wheel again, and in that instance he’d have to pass his test again.
