@@coreytaylor5386 Well they charged maximum possible punishment for tax evasion for him, tickets I think don't seem to have a legal limit from what I could find though and a cop did dish out a 1 million dollar speeding ticket as the most expensive ticket ever, although you can contest tickets in court under the claim that the ticket was unreasonable for the crime committed or in an attempt to prove yourself innocent. If whoever saw the picture looked up the plate number and was like "oh shit, I get to nail Bezos with a fine" they could theoretically threaten his entire life's worth and leave him paying court fees to dodge the ticket, or they can charge just enough that a good lawyer would be too expensive and he actually pays the government for something for the first time in his life.
Back in the 1950s I got a ticket for going too fast on my bicycle. I was happy that I was going to be able to brag to my pals until the bobby wrote it out. It was for "Furious riding". Only in Britain would a cop even know about an old law aimed at idiots on horses.
Awesome, I would've framed mine too. Got pulled over, early 80's in Orlando Florida one day on my 10-speed, 45mph in a 30 mph zone...They only gave me a warning though dammit (and wanted to see who was riding that fast).

@@Joe11924 Hi there, I like to comment my own experiences relevant to youtube videos even if I know they will probably be burried. I didn't realise this comment had any likes until your reply notified my as such. The reason I am assuming that the camera never caught me is because I do not remember noticing a flash. Max struggled to get the camera to take a picture and I was not wearing a lisence plate or high-vis clothing or going as fast as Max was in the video, meaning that it is very likely (I would say definite) that the speed camera did not capture me. You are right, I cannot know for sure because even if the speed camera did capture me, how could they fine me if I don't have an identification plate.
0:30 | The helmet is from Amazon, the trainers are from Amazon, the hi-viz is from Amazon, The speed gun is on Amazon, the NUMBER PLATE is on Amazon, so you paied him back! :)
Max is literally the most original RUclipsr I've ever seen. Even though it's barely been a week since I found this channel, it's already my favorite one.
Now imagine doing this in a country where the fine scales with your net worth like Finland and somehow managing to make this legally work. Bezos would get literally the biggest speeding fine in history. Imagine a fine in hundreds of millions, near a billion.
I mean, of course you can't make it legally work, because Bezos himself would have to be the driver for it to be legally correct, but yes, he would probably get the biggest speeding fine in history.
Interesting fact- in the uk (can’t speak for anywhere else) some speed cameras are empty. Say in an area- let’s take the south west, you’ll have 400 cameras. Only around 200-250 will have a camera in at a time. You can see which cameras have cameras inside if they have the little timer inside following you which uses either radar or IR to measure your speed. A lot of cameras, such as the Gatso, are only rear facing so that won’t matter as when you see if they have a camera in, you’ll be past it, but a lot of cameras do both front facing, and front and rear facing speed. Since around 50-60% of cameras are functional, it’s practically a lottery. Motorways are similar in that they use Redflex cameras which are a total lottery as to whether they even work or not. So my advice is to drive around 140mph at all times and you have like a 40% chance of not getting caught probably. Good luck fellow idiots!
@@pedrobambinoperez2572 probably not, it's impossible that American numberplates are recognized automatically because there is no need at all for the UK municipality to be accessing a US database (if there even is one). There aren't enough American cars on UK roads to justify the cost of maintaining an automated system. The case would be handled manually and then it's be clear that it's just a guy on a bike.
When i saw the title, i was very surprised, like even for Maximilius Foshliston this is alot! His originality is out of this world, wouldnt be surprised if that was literally the case for the next video.
Jeff may be rich, but do you think he would fly his own personal Escalade into NYC for a shopping trip? You may have just gotten a poor taxi driver fired for speeding LOL
I mean there's 0 chance this ticket makes it to Jeff or even the guy in the video. It's an NY plate on the car, Max is using a UK plate. Even if they somehow decided it was a US plate, there's 50 potential vehicles it could be registered to.
Your impression of an American "skater bro" was scarily spot-on. I know too many people here who sound like that, and you hit the nail right on the head with that accent. Bravo!
Love the Great North run shirt, had to do a double take when I first saw that, as my first thought was the Sydney harbour bridge. Great vid by the way, cheers from Aus, btw the great north run for 2022 was yesterday.
Is it even legal to frame someone else for a speeding ticket? Something tells me that Max wouldn't be able to pay himself out justice as easily as Jeff...
@@koopa1231 well that isn’t true. Just look at 0:22. Red double decker, very Londonish and a yellow number plate. This is in no way in the US. Not to mention they drive on the wrong side of the road.
The trick with roller blades is to get low to the ground and push off hard. Also helps if you're going down a hill. I think I've probably topped 50 mph doing that, but it's dangerous as hell, especially if you're doing it in a place there's vehicular traffic. If you want to pick up roller skating though it's a great hobby. One of these days I want to build a massive skating rink out in the middle of nowhere and just go really fast all the time. Simple things, you know.
Fastest I've ever gone downhill on a bike a 57 mph. Hella fast, with brakes! There was actually a 30 mph speed camera at the foot of a hill in Oxford that I'd often do high 30s to 40 past, but never got flashed by it 😕
Anyone that knows how speed cameras work knows its not to do with "Visibility" because the system is either radar based, lidar based or based of distance over time on the induction loops. Lidar and radar are not effected by color of clothing or vehicle, what will effect these systems is line of sight. Are you in the detection beam. If it is an induction loop based system, the vehicle in question needs to have enough metal in it. Plus Jeff wont get a fine, because the fines are sent to be verified by a human who will see a guy on a bike.
I don't think we should tell him, but I live in Canada, and when someone gets a speeding ticket from a camera, the police sends images to the plate owner proving that it was his/her car...
Hey, MATTx11duez here, this is the second time this has happened and I’m losing my mind. Out of all the comments, what are the odds I find yours? Well 100% apparently because it happened.
He paid $0.00. This is a US license plate number (with no state listed on it) being read in the UK. They could clearly see he was on a bike and it would just be tossed out and not pursued probably.
jeff’s rich and clearly getting into the back of the car in the paparazzi video, the car plate is most likely from a driving company’s car or an uber 😅
To Fosh: Excellent and fun video. Thank you. To the Arguing Elite: When the photo is looked at it just looks like some marathon registrant number on a shiny cycling vest and not a real license plate at all. I doubt anyone will go "Oh Gawd! That is CLEARLY a valid licence plate on a motor vehicle! We got them Duke Boys now! yuk yuk yuk." Go easy, m8s.
He does pay taxes though. He didn't pay *income* taxes in 2007 and 2011. But he had no positive income in 2007 and 2011. So there was nothing to pay taxes on. You can't pay income taxes without income. This isn't shady its just common fucking sense. He paid all the property and expense taxes he owed.
Haven't watched all the way through - I'd be very surprised if a UK speed camera recognises an American number plate. Edit: Well I'll be buggered. Edit2: Actually, it probably does the recognising after the speed detection, so maybe it didn't.
Not to mention that this shape of number plate is used all over North America (i.e., Mexico, Canada, not just the US) and that the numbers are _not_ unique between states or provinces.
You seriously think an american can speed through cameras without getting the fine? Also from experience I know it works in germany to other countries licence plates
I get this video is just for fun but there’s no possible way that a speeding ticket issued in the UK could go to someone who’s registered their car in the US.
It must be at least possible, but the authorities here would presumaby be checking their facts first before making a licence plate enquiry with the relevant US state's vehincle registry, so they'd see that the photo was just a cyclist with letters on his shirt and so wouldn't bother. It also occured to me though that 3 letters followed by three numbers is a valid plate format here for pre-1963 registered cars, so it could automatically fine the person who owns the same plate but from the DVLA here.
Also that car is probably registered to some poor transport company who was hired to drive Jeff around for a day, I doubt the car belongs to him personally but I know that’s not the point
Recently when I was sitting in the train and looking outside I saw some sideroad radar giving an angry smile to the train. It drove with around 80miles per hour past that radar and the limit is around 19mph. Luckily it was just a radar to show the speed and not to give tickets because otherwise the Swiss state train company would need to pay thousands upon thousands of dollars in speeding fines.
I think there was an incident in the UK recently as well when a train crossed some points with a 15mph speed restriction at 75mph - I think there is a proper investigation going on into this incident as well
@@chrisoddy8744 In my case the speed restriction was on a road which was next to the railway. And the radar was partially directed at the railway too. So I doubt there is an investigation. I think those types of radar can't log what speed someone drove through.
I think part of the problem was you weren't riding over/close enough to those horizontal lines which those cameras use to calculate the speed I think. Looks like all but the last attempt were more central on the road. Although it flashed before you reached the lines I assume you hit the right area for how it's aimed/set up
The lines don't actually affect the camera in any way, they're just there so a human can double check the photograph later. If somebody says "I wasn't speeding, your camera is out of calibration" then somebody can work out how many lines were passed between the two photographs to see if the person is telling the truth. The speed detection itself is purely radar based.
Actually, it's because it's only calibrated to detect yellow number plates, which in the UK, are only fitted to the rear of the car. This is so it doesn't flash you from the front and blind you, potentially causing an accident. The high vis vest managed to trick the camera I suppose. If you're wondering, yes, this means that speed cameras can only take a picture of you (even in the day) from the rear. In other words, you are not going to get a ticket for speeding whilst going towards a camera facing you and I can tell you that from personal experience.

How would you even know whether you triggered the speed camera or not? Were you watching it the whole time? Oh wait, obviously not because you said yourself that you didn't even notice it.
People really be saying anything for likes. It's pathetic.
@@Joe11924 Hi there, I like to comment my own experiences relevant to youtube videos even if I know they will probably be burried. I didn't realise this comment had any likes until your reply notified my as such.
The reason I am assuming that the camera never caught me is because I do not remember noticing a flash. Max struggled to get the camera to take a picture and I was not wearing a lisence plate or high-vis clothing or going as fast as Max was in the video, meaning that it is very likely (I would say definite) that the speed camera did not capture me. You are right, I cannot know for sure because even if the speed camera did capture me, how could they fine me if I don't have an identification plate.
I’m addicted to this series. How do you even come up with these ideas, Max?

Dude, how the hell have I just discovered your channel? The content is godlike!
Max is literally the most original RUclipsr I've ever seen. Even though it's barely been a week since I found this channel, it's already my favorite one.
I love how its 100% content. Literally as SOOON AS he does it, video ends. No ad, no sponsor. Nice ;)
What’s wrong with sponsors, exactly? Gotta put food on the table.
I don't understand how one can just think of such an insanely hilarious idea like this. Loving the videos man.
Love the “cheers Jeff” every time he bought off Amazon
Also love that Whale of a time jumper almost as nice a Schoffel
Now imagine doing this in a country where the fine scales with your net worth like Finland and somehow managing to make this legally work. Bezos would get literally the biggest speeding fine in history. Imagine a fine in hundreds of millions, near a billion.
I mean, of course you can't make it legally work, because Bezos himself would have to be the driver for it to be legally correct, but yes, he would probably get the biggest speeding fine in history.
Interesting fact- in the uk (can’t speak for anywhere else) some speed cameras are empty. Say in an area- let’s take the south west, you’ll have 400 cameras. Only around 200-250 will have a camera in at a time. You can see which cameras have cameras inside if they have the little timer inside following you which uses either radar or IR to measure your speed. A lot of cameras, such as the Gatso, are only rear facing so that won’t matter as when you see if they have a camera in, you’ll be past it, but a lot of cameras do both front facing, and front and rear facing speed. Since around 50-60% of cameras are functional, it’s practically a lottery. Motorways are similar in that they use Redflex cameras which are a total lottery as to whether they even work or not. So my advice is to drive around 140mph at all times and you have like a 40% chance of not getting caught probably. Good luck fellow idiots!
Yeah it's the same in tons of countries
Max just sees the world as a playground and I'm here for it.
Surely an american number plate isn't going to cause a fine to be sent in the UK?
It probably will, at least it does for other Europeans
@@pedrobambinoperez2572 probably not, it's impossible that American numberplates are recognized automatically because there is no need at all for the UK municipality to be accessing a US database (if there even is one). There aren't enough American cars on UK roads to justify the cost of maintaining an automated system. The case would be handled manually and then it's be clear that it's just a guy on a bike.
It probably will, but just to some random bloke in the UK
@@pedrobambinoperez2572 It makes sense for countries in Europe to have a single database, but America in on an entirely different continent.
I'm glad someone pointed this out 😅

When i saw the title, i was very surprised, like even for Maximilius Foshliston this is alot! His originality is out of this world, wouldnt be surprised if that was literally the case for the next video.
Jeff may be rich, but do you think he would fly his own personal Escalade into NYC for a shopping trip?
You may have just gotten a poor taxi driver fired for speeding LOL
Well no one is going to get fined tho
It’s the thought that counts
I mean there's 0 chance this ticket makes it to Jeff or even the guy in the video. It's an NY plate on the car, Max is using a UK plate. Even if they somehow decided it was a US plate, there's 50 potential vehicles it could be registered to.
@@finn3494 Just also the fact that people check the pictures that have been taken so they know who to send the fine to.
@@finn3494 How could there be 50 vehicles registered to one number plate?
The irony that you bought the speed gun from Amazon is unparalleled
And the number plate 😂
Your impression of an American "skater bro" was scarily spot-on. I know too many people here who sound like that, and you hit the nail right on the head with that accent. Bravo!
Love the Great North run shirt, had to do a double take when I first saw that, as my first thought was the Sydney harbour bridge.
Great vid by the way, cheers from Aus, btw the great north run for 2022 was yesterday.
Is it even legal to frame someone else for a speeding ticket? Something tells me that Max wouldn't be able to pay himself out justice as easily as Jeff...
This wouldn't actually work as max is in the uk and was using bezos' us reg plate
@@michaeljones5681 it is said in the video that the plate is from when Bezos was seem shopping in the uk
@@xidroke6982 I believe Max said the video is from New York, US
@@koopa1231 well that isn’t true. Just look at 0:22. Red double decker, very Londonish and a yellow number plate. This is in no way in the US.

The trick with roller blades is to get low to the ground and push off hard. Also helps if you're going down a hill. I think I've probably topped 50 mph doing that, but it's dangerous as hell, especially if you're doing it in a place there's vehicular traffic.
If you want to pick up roller skating though it's a great hobby. One of these days I want to build a massive skating rink out in the middle of nowhere and just go really fast all the time. Simple things, you know.
Fastest I've ever gone downhill on a bike a 57 mph. Hella fast, with brakes!
There was actually a 30 mph speed camera at the foot of a hill in Oxford that I'd often do high 30s to 40 past, but never got flashed by it 😕
LOL. You're both chatting shit. 50 MPH is much faster than you think it is while you're either cycling or roller skating
Anyone that knows how speed cameras work knows its not to do with "Visibility" because the system is either radar based, lidar based or based of distance over time on the induction loops.
Lidar and radar are not effected by color of clothing or vehicle, what will effect these systems is line of sight.
Are you in the detection beam.
If it is an induction loop based system, the vehicle in question needs to have enough metal in it.
Plus Jeff wont get a fine, because the fines are sent to be verified by a human who will see a guy on a bike.
Oh no! Anyway…
@@zSphericleOk Clarkson.
Alternative title: 2 British guys go fast on a bike in an attempt to frame Jeff bezos for speeding
they will likely send the fine to a shell company that owns the vehicle
1:20 That guy backflipped over me at the skate park before lmao!
I sat alone in my room cheering as the camera went off! I love stupid ish like this. This channel is truly one of a kind
The helmet is from Amazon, the trainers are from Amazon, the high-vis is from Amazon, so he paied Jeff back 😂
I don't think we should tell him, but I live in Canada, and when someone gets a speeding ticket from a camera, the police sends images to the plate owner proving that it was his/her car...
This guy must be the most original man on RUclips
Surely you must've given more money to amazon for the gear needed for this speeding ticket than the amount he had to pay for the ticket 😂
Hey, MATTx11duez here, this is the second time this has happened and I’m losing my mind. Out of all the comments, what are the odds I find yours? Well 100% apparently because it happened.
He paid $0.00. This is a US license plate number (with no state listed on it) being read in the UK. They could clearly see he was on a bike and it would just be tossed out and not pursued probably.
@@BBC600 So if I'm from the US, and I bring my car to UK, I can drive carelessly without receiving any tickets?
jeff’s rich and clearly getting into the back of the car in the paparazzi video, the car plate is most likely from a driving company’s car or an uber 😅
To Fosh: Excellent and fun video. Thank you.
To the Arguing Elite: When the photo is looked at it just looks like some marathon registrant number on a shiny cycling vest and not a real license plate at all. I doubt anyone will go "Oh Gawd! That is CLEARLY a valid licence plate on a motor vehicle! We got them Duke Boys now! yuk yuk yuk."
Go easy, m8s.
The only flaw is that the uk speeding system does not extend to the states so the ticket would be null, I like the concept though.
Every video, you continue to push the limits of what can be accomplished without getting into serious trouble with the law. I love it.
Imagine if he used the drop bars to get more aerodynamic. Bezos wouldn't stand a chance!
You just had to do it on a bike!!!!! Thats Max Fosh for you.

Getting a speeding ticket on a bike
He does pay taxes though. He didn't pay *income* taxes in 2007 and 2011. But he had no positive income in 2007 and 2011. So there was nothing to pay taxes on. You can't pay income taxes without income. This isn't shady its just common fucking sense. He paid all the property and expense taxes he owed.
Which taxes have not been paid exactly?
Haven't watched all the way through - I'd be very surprised if a UK speed camera recognises an American number plate.
Edit: Well I'll be buggered.
Edit2: Actually, it probably does the recognising after the speed detection, so maybe it didn't.
Not to mention that this shape of number plate is used all over North America (i.e., Mexico, Canada, not just the US) and that the numbers are _not_ unique between states or provinces.
You seriously think an american can speed through cameras without getting the fine?
Also from experience I know it works in germany to other countries licence plates
It does I’m sure. My parents drive in the USA with a Canadian plate and I’m sure it’s no different even across the sea
@@kr46428 that’s why they got a picture of it though. You can get fined across country or province/state in America as well

This is definitely illegal 😭😂

Max, I’m gonna miss these videos when you’re in jail.
Tiniest bit of research might have revealed that bikes are not restricted by road speed limits in the UK.
I recently started watching and I see you as a emerging successful UK youtuber>>!
That was an impressive American accent from a person with an accent at 3:10
I get this video is just for fun but there’s no possible way that a speeding ticket issued in the UK could go to someone who’s registered their car in the US.
true. Max is the one most likely to get a ticket when someonw inevitably sends this video to the police.
It must be at least possible, but the authorities here would presumaby be checking their facts first before making a licence plate enquiry with the relevant US state's vehincle registry, so they'd see that the photo was just a cyclist with letters on his shirt and so wouldn't bother. It also occured to me though that 3 letters followed by three numbers is a valid plate format here for pre-1963 registered cars, so it could automatically fine the person who owns the same plate but from the DVLA here.
Also that car is probably registered to some poor transport company who was hired to drive Jeff around for a day, I doubt the car belongs to him personally but I know that’s not the point
@ {•°Straw°•} That would be 3 letters 4 numbers then, and not a valid UK number plate format. Also at 2:03 the middle letter looks like an F to me.
The plate is missing the state to be even valid in the US anyway
Recently when I was sitting in the train and looking outside I saw some sideroad radar giving an angry smile to the train. It drove with around 80miles per hour past that radar and the limit is around 19mph. Luckily it was just a radar to show the speed and not to give tickets because otherwise the Swiss state train company would need to pay thousands upon thousands of dollars in speeding fines.
I think there was an incident in the UK recently as well when a train crossed some points with a 15mph speed restriction at 75mph - I think there is a proper investigation going on into this incident as well
@@chrisoddy8744 In my case the speed restriction was on a road which was next to the railway. And the radar was partially directed at the railway too. So I doubt there is an investigation. I think those types of radar can't log what speed someone drove through.
I've watched 3 of your videos so far and all 3 of them involved a hi-viz vest.
6:50 that woman walk right off after hearing " Bazo needs to pay his tax." LMAO
7:30 it actually is taking photos i guess not that flashy look closely and you will see a flash inside of the machine
I think part of the problem was you weren't riding over/close enough to those horizontal lines which those cameras use to calculate the speed I think. Looks like all but the last attempt were more central on the road. Although it flashed before you reached the lines I assume you hit the right area for how it's aimed/set up
The lines don't actually affect the camera in any way, they're just there so a human can double check the photograph later. If somebody says "I wasn't speeding, your camera is out of calibration" then somebody can work out how many lines were passed between the two photographs to see if the person is telling the truth. The speed detection itself is purely radar based.
@@nathansvlog Fair play! Must just be a coincidence then with the positioning and it finally working
Actually, it's because it's only calibrated to detect yellow number plates, which in the UK, are only fitted to the rear of the car. This is so it doesn't flash you from the front and blind you, potentially causing an accident. The high vis vest managed to trick the camera I suppose. If you're wondering, yes, this means that speed cameras can only take a picture of you (even in the day) from the rear. In other words, you are not going to get a ticket for speeding whilst going towards a camera facing you and I can tell you that from personal experience.
