YouTube stunt motorcyclist gets prison sentence

What an idiot


22 October 2008 11:34 GMT / By Katie Scott

A YouTuber who filmed his dangerous antics on a motorcycle then posted the vids online is going to prison.

28-year-old Sandor Ferenci raced the bike up to 130mph (209kph), but also filmed himself doing wheelies, skids as well as caning the bike on the wrong side of the road around Banbury in Oxfordshire.

He then brashly posted all of the footage on YouTube in June.

But now Ferenci is heading for a 12 weeks in the slammer, after a motorist took down his number plate.

The YouTube footage was used as evidence - something that didn't surprise the motorcyclist who actually asked the police officers who came to his home: "Is this about the YouTube video?"

Ferenci, who is a carer for the elderly, has also been disqualified from driving for 2 years.
