A Formula 2 racer has been banned from the roads after posting a video of himself driving at high speeds on social media.
Amaury Cordeel posted a video on TikTok, in which he could be seen driving at speeds up to 179km/h on a stretch of road where the limit was 50km/h. The offence was committed on December 1, 2020, but the court case was only concluded at the end of last month.
HLN reports Cordeel, 20, denied the charges after police chose to prosecute after being alerted to the video, which was subsequently deleted. He is reported to have told the court: "I couldn't possibly have driven, because I didn't have a driver's license at all at the time."
