Nothing like video taping yourself breaking the law and then posting it for all to see, lemmie guess, on the advice of his lawyer he'll plead not guilty.

The video doesn't much matter. That's just story sensationalizing.
A decent lawyer will have the vid tossed out of court, while it may help support the 118mph charge he was witnessed and clocked at, they won't convict for the 140 that wasn't witnessed, and even if they did, would the penalty be any different? |

In all seriousness, BMW speedometers are the least accurate, reading high by about 10% or so. Of course, that only screws him over even more, seeing as that means his true speed was actually only about 127.

Probably switched it over to KPH instead of MPH.
