OVAJ put nije u pitanju vozač BMW-a.
Šalu na stranu, marka i tip automobila najčešće nisu krivi za nepromišljene poteze vozača. U ovom slučaju krivac se našao za upravljačem starog Lexusa IS. Divljanje 26-godišnjeg vozača kroz kružni tok, gdje je Lexusom odradio dva kruga i pritom driftanjem palio gume, snimio je prolaznik, pa policiji iz Wiltshirea nije bio prevelik problem utvrditi tko je bio za upravljačem.
Lexus je vozio Daniel Basset, koji se morao suočiti s optužbom za opasnu vožnju. Ovih dana je stigla i presuda. Oduzeta mu je vozačka dozvola na 15 mjeseci, a za povratak dozvole morat će opet položiti ispit. Također, morat će odraditi 200 sati dobrotvornog rada, pohoditi sate rehabilitacije te sudjelovati u bilo kojoj aktivnosti prema zahtjevu odgovornog službenika do najviše 15 dana. Povrh svega Basset mora platiti 85 GBP sudskih troškova i 95 GBP dodatnih troškova.
A 26-year-old man from Swindon has been banned from driving, after he was seen driving recklessly in North Star Avenue, Swindon - at one point driving the wrong way around a roundabout. In a video taken by a member of the public on May 7th this year, Daniel Bassett, from Osbourne Street, is seen drifting and doing doughnuts in his Lexus car. Bassett pleaded guilty to a charge of dangerous driving. Swindon magistrates yesterday (22/11) sentenced him to: Attend rehabilitation appointments and participate in any activity as required by the responsible officer up to a maximum of 15 days. To carry out 200 hours of unpaid work. To be disqualified from driving for 15 months, with a requirement to take an extended driving test before this disqualification is lifted. To pay £85 court costs and a £95 surcharge. Reflecting on the sentence, Wiltshire Police Assistant Chief Constable Deb Smith said: "We welcome the sentence handed down to Bassett, his actions represented severely reckless behaviour and clear danger to those present and the wider public. "Op Staysail remains focussed on relentlessly pursuing those who are responsible for creating extremely dangerous situations on our roads whilst participating in disruptive car meets, we will continue to seek the strongest possible sanctions in such cases."

U obrazloženju rigorozne kazne iz policije poručuju kako su "postupci predstavljali izrazito nepromišljeno ponašanje i jasnu opasnost za prisutne i širu javnost" te kako će nastaviti goniti sve slične prekršitelje i za njih tražiti najstrože moguće kazne.
