In a shocking turn of events, Stuart Chandler, a 53-year-old resident of Wrights Lane, Kensington, was recently caught speeding at a staggering 130mph in his £185,500 McLaren supercar. The incident took place on the M23 near Crawley on 13 April when an unmarked police car spotted Chandler zooming past them.
Caught in the Act
The officer in the unmarked police vehicle attempted to catch up with Chandler, but the speed at which he was driving made it impossible until the supercar was slowed down by traffic. When approached by the officer, Chandler expressed his disbelief at how fast he was actually going in his green McLaren 600LT.

Fast forward to November 5, and Chandler found himself in Brighton Magistrates’ Court facing the consequences of his reckless driving. He admitted to driving well above the 70mph speed limit and already had nine points on his license at the time of the incident. As a result, Chandler was handed a six-month driving ban, fined £2,500, and required to pay a £1,000 surcharge along with £110 in costs.
