In a jaw-dropping moment caught on dashcam, a BMW driver was filmed pushing their car to an unbelievable 152 miles per hour on the A629 — all in a desperate attempt to evade police. What started as a routine traffic stop turned into a high-speed chase that could have ended in disaster.
According to police reports, the pursuit began when officers noticed the BMW weaving between lanes at dangerously high speeds. When they tried to pull the car over, the driver instead slammed the accelerator — rocketing down the highway and vanishing into the night.
The dashcam footage shows the car darting between vehicles like a blur, headlights flashing as sirens echo in the distance. One officer can be heard radioing in the speed — “one-five-two, repeat, one-five-two miles per hour” — as the chase continues through the dark motorway.
At such speeds, a single wrong move could have been fatal. Experts later calculated that the BMW was covering nearly 225 feet per second — faster than most people can even react. “At that speed, you’re not driving anymore,” said one road safety specialist. “You’re gambling with everyone’s life.”
Police units coordinated ahead to deploy a stinger trap — a set of tire-puncturing spikes designed to stop fleeing vehicles safely. The driver, realizing the roadblock ahead, tried to swerve but lost control, spinning out and coming to a dramatic stop on the shoulder.
Officers quickly surrounded the vehicle and arrested the suspect without further incident. Authorities later revealed that the driver was in their mid-20s and already had multiple previous driving offences on record. The motive? Simply to avoid another ticket.
The footage has since gone viral, sparking heated debate online. Some viewers expressed disbelief at the driver’s recklessness, while others praised the officers’ calm professionalism during such a dangerous pursuit. “They handled it perfectly,” one commenter said. “Could have been a tragedy, but they kept their composure.”
UK traffic specialists have used the video as a reminder of just how deadly speeding can be. At 152mph, even the most advanced car offers no protection against basic physics — stopping distances multiply, and control becomes nearly impossible.
The BMW driver now faces charges for dangerous driving, evading arrest, and exceeding speed limits by more than double the legal threshold. If convicted, they could lose their license for several years and face significant jail time.
In a statement, a police spokesperson said:
“Driving at these speeds isn’t bravery — it’s recklessness. The officers involved demonstrated incredible restraint to ensure no one was harmed.”
The viral clip ends with a sobering message flashing on screen:
“Speed Thrills — Until It Kills.”
It’s a chilling yet necessary reminder that one moment of arrogance on the road can change dozens of lives in seconds. 🚓💥
