A contender for the 2015 Darwin Awards, Addil Haroon, 18, had no licence, no insurance, and no car (the Audi he was in was hired in someone else’s name). He had photographed the speedo while he was driving at 140mph the day before he sped through a red traffic light at high speed and ploughed into another Audi. This picture shows what he achieved.
He boasted on social media about his speed:
Leeds to Rochdale in 11 minutes. Catch me.
Beat this Leeds to Rochdale in 11 minutes. I beat the f****** s*** out of that last night. No mercy.
He was seen doing 80mph in a 20mph zone just before the accident, in which he sliced another Audi in two killing Joseph Brown-Lartey, 24, instantly.
Scumbag, Haroon, was jailed for six years and also banned from driving for six years (though knowing British Law, those two probably run concurrently, so when he gets out in four years he’ll only have to wait for two more before he is legally allowed back on the road). Everything that was said in court points to him being a stereotypical prick.
Unfortunately, the wrong man was removed from the gene pool.
Judging from the number of hits this has received in less than 24 hours – and where they are from – it seems Haroon has a lot of friends out there.
