Court convicts car reviewer who posted high speed video to Facebook
Car reviewer and YouTube channel host Joe Achilles posted a clip of him driving an Audi R8 supercar on a narrow road against oncoming traffic to Facebook last November. He is being convicted by a U.K. court after prosecutors used his own video as evidence against him.
It was bad, but it could’ve been much worse.

Photos of the aftermath show the black convertible wrapped around a utility pole with the passenger side bashed into the unoccupied seating area. According to KTLA neither driver was seriously injured in the incident. According to the cops, here’s why:
“He walked away from this collision without injury for one reason and one reason only: he was wearing his seatbelt. Seatbelts save lives.”
