After the case, the Crown Prosecution Service released a video of Charlton drifting his powerful BMW at a roundabout.

In the clip, the tyres can be heard screeching, while he almost crashes into a van.

And in another clip, a passenger filmed him driving at 191mph on a motorway in the West Yorkshire area.

The CPS said Charlton, from Hunslet, Leeds, admitted 10 counts of dangerous driving and four offenses of perverting the course of justice.
