Fastest Lap Around Manhattan 2013, Manhattan, YouTube

NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) – A driving stunt has caught the attention of police.
An anonymous driver posted a video on YouTube titled “Fastest Lap Around Manhattan 2013.”
The video appears to show a driver loop around Manhattan in 24 minutes and seven seconds.
The driver starts on the FDR Drive, goes through the Battery Park underpass, up the West Side Highway, along I-95, then back to where he started, CBS 2 reported.
The driver claims the ride beat the previous record of 26 minutes that was set in 2010.
The NYPD will investigate.
“We’ve seen this before, people have put these videos up,” Police Commissioner Ray Kelly said. “We’ve taken enforcement action as a result. I am not aware of this video, we’ll take a look at it.”
Kelly said license plate readers that are positioned throughout the city will help in the investigation.

He aint gonna get caught they cant go looking at the camera records for all of 2013.  they dont know when  this occurred

:lol: doesn't it say at the very beginning of the video when this took place??
 
That was awesome, but could have easily ended in disaster.

NYC looks like a Need For Speed Underground two map
 
Impressive run. Impressive video edit.

August 26, 2013.

I'm saying though...that's a wrap for ol boy.
 
Wonder what kind of car he was driving.

BMW Z4 ... like I said... more proof that Bimmer drivers are *** hats


... last guy that did this was in an M5 :lol:

calm down

all he did was speed on the freeway not like if he was racing another car or drifting around corners on the street which is way more dangerous

tbh i dont even see much wrong with the vid besides excessive speeding

Passing on the right at any speed is dangerous.

Passing on the right multiple times at the extreme speeds shown in the video is insane.
 
Lucky he didn't get caught up in horrible traffic on FDR. :lol: He also cut a red.

Well Alex Roy had 151 moving violations — enough to have his New York driver's license suspended 78 times over in his record so this must be close to it.
 
Call me ignorant, but even if they discover who the driver is, what can they do to him? Based off the footage, no accidents occurred.

Multiple traffic violations which could result in a suspension or a revoked license which will ultimately affect his insurance.

speeding around cars on a pretty empty freeway isnt that dangerous tbh yall need to see japanese wangan runs if you wanna see real driving

Well that's what I really meant by my post, I should have reworded it. If it can't be proven that the video uploader was the driver, what case do they have?

Arrested.

Dude is 20 and lived in East Harlem. Charged with reckless driving and reckless endangerment. Car was seized.
 
That was the sickest video of my city right there.

That **** was so ill.

Video really made me think of the tracks they design for need for speed or other racing games esp. an nyc track.

That video made me homesick right there.
