A man managed to break the land speed record from Land's End to John O'Groats in Britain - completing the journey in nine hours and 36 minutes, after only being caught by one red light.
Tommy Davies, 26, managed to get past 50 speed cameras and spotted seven police cars on his 841-mile trip, but says he wasn't issued a single ticket despite an average speed of around 90mph.
Tommy underwent the journey with his friend Tome Harevy in an adapted Audi S5 with a 4.2 litre VA engine back in September. He says they had been attempting to break 'unofficial' records for around six years.

Tommy said: "If you speak to a lot of people, the ten hour mark doesn't seem possible to break, with the average speed cameras and the police, the odds were stacked against us.
"A lot of people said it couldn't be done - so we went out to prove them wrong.
"We believe we are the only ones to do it that quick on land - only a FG1 Phantom fighter Jet has done it faster in just under 47 minutes."
However, not everyone is impressed with achievement, with Ian Crowder, head of road safety, slamming the journey and calling it 'irresponsible'.
Ian, who campaigns for road safety, told MailOnline: "For somebody to deliberately set about to break the land speed record, film it, and admit how many police he passed and how many cameras he avoided is an outrageous example of putting thousands of people's lives at risk.

"I hope the police prosecute him. It is almost unbelievable that somebody would do that, deliberately, and then brag about it."
But Tommy believes he was careful on his journey, saying: "Speeding in this country is controversial and it's one of those things where you are on the road with other drivers, and who am I to put their lives at risk?
"We were so focused if there were any other cars on the road I would slow down and make sure the passing rate of speed was safe to minimise any risk.
"Looking back, it was a great experience, it showed that all the research and preparation we had done really paid off."

The pair began their journey in the evening, so the bulk of the driving was done at night.
Tommy said: "We left at 8pm, which we perfectly timed to pass Glasgow at 11.45pm, then come through Liverpool and Birmingham in the dead of night as they are the most populated areas.
"We needed a car that was fully equipped to handle this sort of thing, so we made a number of modifications to it.
"It's a worthy adversary to a police car, with upgraded brakes taking it to 400 brake horsepower, counter measures to avoid speed traps and a detector to pick up police radio signals so we know if there are any police within a kilometre of us.

"It may just look like a lot of beeps and warning lights, but to us it's vital information that helps us build a picture of what or who is around us.
"We had a fuel tank in the boot that extends the range of the car from 250 miles to over 400 miles which meant we only had to stop once."
They refueled after meeting two friends with 150 litres of petrol in a van at a junction near Lancaster services at 1.18am, before arriving at Land's End at 05.36am.

"It was a bit of shock when we finished, we had to quickly double check that it was definitely nine hours 36," Tommy, of Llangollen, north Wales, said.
"To be on adrenaline for nine-and-a-half hours all through the night, the crash bang afterwards was just unbelievable - once we got the car in the trailer and a mate drove us back up I just fell asleep."
He added: "Looking back, it was a great experience, it showed that all the research and preparation we had done really paid off."
