Christopher 'Afroduck' Tang posts dashcam video of his 'world record' 24 minute lap around Manhattan on Aug 28, cops track him down and arrest him a week later Authorities have identified the driver who allegedly posted an Internet video of himself speeding around Manhattan in just over 24 minutes. Police on Thursday arrested 30-year-old Christopher Adam Tang of Manhattan after tracking him through his IP address, according to law enforcement sources. They charged him with reckless driving, reckless endangerment and other misdemeanor charges. Police also seized his 2006 BMW Z4. Sources said Tang has a Canadian driver's license. It was revoked by a judge Thursday, along with his passport. The video was posted on Aug. 28 with a description claiming the driver had set a record for the fastest loop around Manhattan. Through a camera mounted on the dashboard, the video records the car traveling southbound on the FDR Drive from 116th Street to Battery Park and then up West Street back to 116th Street. Along the 26.4-mile loop, it stops for six red lights. Electronic dance music provides the soundtrack as a stopwatch superimposed on the screen keeps time: 24 minutes and 7 seconds. The Canadian national, who said he studied economics and political science in college, has lived in New York for several years with his wife. Prosecutors said he has previous traffic violations and that he has admitted to once driving 4,000 miles in 38 hours. Bail for Tang was set at $10,500. He declined Legal Aid representation, telling the court he made enough money as a self-employed day trader to hire his own attorney.
Mechanical failure - fortunately nobody hurt CO: Couple survives after car crushed by lumber that fell off truck on I-70 near Georgetown snips:
Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but if the engine stops, wouldn't the wheels stop, too?? Unless he used the clutch? And since when do you need the engine running to apply the brakes or use the horn? I think this driver is as new as they come and/or a dumb $4it!!
