A road pirate from Eindhoven with a BMW M3 has been convicted by the police judge for extremely dangerous driving behavior on the highways around Eindhoven. The man calls himself ‘Certified GetAway Driver’ and shared images of his actions online, including via platforms such as Dumpert and Instagram.
The case came to light after several cases in 2024 videos surfaced where the driver showed reckless driving behavior. “A video of a life-threatening brake check also appeared on various platforms,” the East Brabant traffic police wrote on Instagram. He drove right in front of a truck and suddenly braked hard, causing the driver to make an emergency stop.
On the track
The East Brabant traffic police started an investigation and confiscated both the car and the suspect’s phone. A large amount of footage was found, not only of his own driving behavior, but also of others who, according to the police, “used the road as a circuit”.
The police are also studying those images. “Based on the images, a report was also drawn up against others who, in groups, behaved in a life-threatening manner on public roads.”
Latest list of violations
The 30-year-old man had to appear before the police judge in Den Bosch on January 14. The verdict shows that the driver was guilty of a long series of violations on several highways, including the A2, A50 and A67, in March and April 2025.
For example, he drove much too fast, overtook on the right, used the emergency lane to overtake and drove through a red light. He also held his phone while driving and did not keep enough distance.
Punishment
According to the court, this behavior created a danger to the lives of other road users. He was therefore sentenced to six months in prison, five months of which were conditional. He is also not allowed to drive for at least a year. He has also lost his BMW M3 and has to take a so-called EMG course.
The suspended sentence is accompanied by a probationary period of two years. During that period, the man may not commit any criminal offenses again.
The suspect has appealed against the ruling.
