Wow I'm surprised that everyone in the comments is talking about the speeding fine, and not about how awesome it is that Louis is going to be planting trees in Zambia on a road trip with Ben!
I think it's because he mentioned in the title.. and because he called it 'stupid' it's a bit controversial, so although the Zambia thing is more interesting there's more to discuss with the speeding fine :)
+CodyBuffinton They didn't say much about it other than they're planting trees which is great. The ticket thing was at the end and is surprising he'd have to go to court and it seems a bit ridiculous so that's why everyone was talking about it.
Dude, so stoked to go on this Zambia mission with you and ***** ! I've been a bunch of times - it's rad! For the people reading this, I'm not sure if many of you know, but Zambia has one of the highest deforestation rates in the world, so the work we're going to be doing there is super important. Amped!
Speed limits exist for a reason and it doesn't matter how much over the limit you were, you were still over. The police chasing you up about it is less about you and more about showing everyone else that speeding of any kind carries serious consequences.
again, there is virtually no difference between 30 and 36 when it comes to stopping distance. Everyone goes over 30, its extremely easy as its a very low speed, in fact, its more dangerous to constantly think about your speed but looking at you speedometer every 5 secs to make sure you are not a few mph over rather than just concentrating on the road ahead and know that you are roughly at the correct speed. i think there should be a little common sense here, going over by 6mph should maybe warrant a reminder letter or warning, a fine is ridiculous.
the good hustler 36 or 30 is not nearly as slow as you think it is. Locked in your car and in a rush 30 feels slow, but standing on the street, or living in a house on a street with 30mph speed limit you will recognize how viciously fast it is. And hitting an obstacle at 30 will make the point vary clear.
Sam Kent ffs dude. so your telling me you can stay at a constant 30 throughout a journey and never look at your speedometer. If so then well done you but most people are going to dip over 30 from time to time. Again, I would rather people concentrate on the fucking road than worry about their speed being exactly on the limit. a few mph over makes no difference. Come on dude, please tell me you aren't this stupid.
It's gonna be EPIC if it actually happens!!! You're so cool when you guys are together it's like double epicness!! Also I was like "ZIMBABWE" (if that's how it's spelled) when you couldn't remember because after seeing you in Cape Town I kind of wanted to know everything about Africa because I just need to be aware of space in general so I learned all the countries and stuff...
I used to think god it's only a few miles over 30mph who cares. Then I watched a video about emergency stop times in residential areas and if you're over by even a little bit you can potentially kill someone and this is when someone is actually anticipating an emergency stop. When you're driving you cannot anticipate a child running onto the road so your stop time/distance is going to be even greater.
Thanks for using my intro Louis!! You're one of my favorite UA-camrs because you constantly inspire me to enjoy life and seek adventure whether it's traveling to a new place or just looking at my city from another perspective! I love your positivity and bright personality! Your videos are always fantastic, proving how much effort you put into them! I'm always excited to see one of your videos in my subscription box! Thanks again!
Your intro was really good I wasn't expecting to see all the travelling bit that must have taken you ages to put together one of my favourite intros so far
theres a reason people are fined for being marginally over the speed limit. faster speeds increase the energy of a crash by an even larger factor. the energy of a crash at 36mph is 50% bigger than a crash at 30mph, this can make all the difference if a car hits someone!
I agree he shouldn't have to go to the court over a fine and he should just pay it but usually radars subtract a few mph, or kph depending where you live, just in case. So he could of be going 40+mph. He did what was right by paying it but maybe they wanted the court hearing because he has received a certain number of tickets, we don't know.
The86Campbell the reason he has to go to court is because he got caught in September last year and you get a time in which you have to pay your initial fine, if you don't they take you to court, but obviously Louis has been out of the country for months so he probably didn't know about it
***** you say that but can you imagine the sheer amount of letters he gets? He'll get official looking letters almost everyday, plus it's not his parents fault he was speeding...
i think it is a bit silly that you need to go to court, in australia if you are caught speeding you just get the fine in the mail and if you disagree you can go to court to contest it, otherwise you just pay it
and people want to know why we are in so much debt, its because somebody gets paid 60k a year to send out these pointless forms. what a waste of everyone's time.
chill bro. honestly, it's Louis who's picking the intros and not anybody else. If he sees it fit to include an intro just a few seconds longer (which i thought was brilliant and really shows the amazing way that Louis has inspired real people to make the most of their own lives), i think we shouldn't nitpick too much out of it. plus Louis did mention that his at-home vlogs chilling with the family are a bit more 'uneventful', so he could've thought that the intro might be a bit of a boost as well. all in good spirits man
That took so much effort & I congratulate the person who did it! Can't be all about negativity! Even if she was promoting her channel, I'm sure whoever stops by would enjoy the channel so why not grasp the opportunity ??
Yes okay it was only 6 miles an hour over the limit, which isn't a great deal when people are doing 100+ down the motorways, but you were ONE FIFTH over the limit, which is a lot. How about leaving places earlier and stop rushing everywhere because you're late before you've even set off.
About your fine. They have to have a cut off somewhere, and you may have gone over. Here in NS Canada our cut off is at 3. We travel in km/h. Speed limit say is at 100km/h you can go maybe 103km/h and its left to the officer to whether you get pulled over get a ticket or a warning. You can post the fine lose your licence for one week (they choose the week and you are notified by mail) or go to court and protest.
Sam Kent It's definitely against the law and I definitely don't support speeding, but I thought all you'd have to do is pay a fine, not go to court o_o
Last year a man was killed on the road next to mine because a car was speeding at 40MPH down a residential road. It might seem annoying to you but speed limits are there for a reason!
in Saudi Arabia they don't charge you, unless your speed is 10% more than speed limit. if it's 30% more you will pay 90$, if it's 50% and more you will pay 150$ and you can pay it in the ATM, without going to the courts and this stuff.
A ang not really . we have too many speed cameras in the city , they may actually stop you for 24 hours or 48 hours if you did something other then speeding + take your car a week with a fine . but still you won't go to court unless you killed someone .
This is also because only men can drive in Saudi Arabia! Oh also women can't even vote, or try on clothes in a changing room...so no offence but I would rather live in the UK with stricter speeding laws, but maybe that's only me lol
30 mph speed limits are for places like schools and villages, places surrounded by kids. You are 40% more likely to kill someone if you are travelling at 40 mph rather than 30mph.
I personally love the fact that you vlog the time you spend with your mum dad and sisters. Family values. I live in the US and if more people here were as loving and respectful of their parents and siblings as you are of yours we would all be alot better off.
"Ben's going pick me up tomorrow morning and we're going to London for some mischief" Yeah, I can see the mischief already: coffee in some hipster cafe, chicken in Nando's and another coffee. You naughty naughty mischiefs!
I agree 6mph seems really petty on the basis there is so much hassle involved, but at the end of the day, the law is the law. It's hard to have grey areas and if no one took it seriously then it could cause more problems!
If a law is broken then there is always a court hearing. In the case of speeding it will be a person working in the courts just processing the paperwork. No judges or lawyers involved unless its serious. The person probably processes hundreds daily.
This guy is going to drive 3000 km in a Land Rover to plant some trees. I'm sure it'll be a cool experience, but the hypocrisy of doing it under the pretence to somehow better the world is pretty astounding
You won't have to go to court, they will send a letter back to you saying it has been agreed that you can accept 3 points and a fine. But you can still go to court if you want.
by the looks of it the road is open around 3 lanes and its at night, i was not excusing the speeding just simply saying that it was ridiculous that he could be arrested if he didn't respond and could have to go to court, if he was speeding near a school or along country lanes then I would have a completely different opinion on the matter at hand and would be thinking about peoples lives at risk, but in this situation as long as he wasn't going dangerously fast I think the amount of processes he has to go through is ridiculous I do very much agree with you but I was more so talking about the punishments set in place when I commented about it being ridiculous :)
Even if someone is a few mph over, there still has to be a cut off point. They can't change the legal fines because of someone being out of the country otherwise everyone could make an excuse. Just drive safely!
Louis being back home is like the calm before the storm. It's creates this big anticipation of when and where he's off to in the world. I kinda of like it when he's home because he will shock us by randomly saying something like " hey guys!!!! I'm currently on my way to the airport for a flight to Russia from where I'll be on a rocket heading for the international space station.... Yeah bro, what u say about that..... Spaaace!!!!
I gotta say these relaxed vlogs are actually really good. It reminds me that even the most adventurest guy out there has calm days where going out for coffee is the highlight. So stop apologizing Louis its nice to watch a calm day after all the adventure!
"Stupid Speeding" would have been more appropriate. Stick to the speed limit, and you'll never have this problem. Reckless driving is nor attractive. Speeding increases the risk of being involved in a casualty accident. Excess speed makes a significant difference to your ability to stop. For example, driving at 50 km/h you can stop your car in approximately 41 metres, but at 60 km/h it will take up to 58 metres before you can stop. Every kilometre of excess speed makes a significant difference to your chances of being involved in a crash. In a crash, the faster a vehicle is traveling at the time of impact, the more severe the injuries to the occupants of the vehicle/s involved. Crash, boom, bang, live the adventure!
It's not the fact that you were only 6 mph over the limit it is the fact that you were 20% over the limit. From a guy that does nothing but travel around the world living off of that very travel, should set a better example for his young viewers. You should simply pay the fine and admit your wrong doing and perhaps just one of your viewers would leaR SOMETHING OF VALUE.
These are actually my favorite vlogs of yours. There's nothing that can compare to spending quality time with friends and family. It's kinda weird that I missed your family, isn't it?
Louis! I love it when you have home time. Home time is very important especially when you're away for weeks at a time. Hope you enjoyed your family time! Have fun on your next adventure.
wait... you don't have the option to just pay the fine without appearing in court? in the US you can either fight the ticket at a hearing or just pay the fine. they're going to spend more money on the court costs than the fine itself.
Loved the intro! It was longer than normal, but so creative and made me want to get traveling again! :) (but instead i'm stuck inside because university's closed for another snow day. ahahaha) Thank the Lord we can travel vicariously through youtubers on cruddy days like today. ;)
I enjoy your chilled vlogs just as much as your adventurous ones, you have a great balence they should prosecute people for dangerous driving rather than how fast they go xxxx
Also this speeding thing happened To my uncle, and apparently they are very strict about speeding between 30 and 40 mph because this is the bracket in which most accidents happen in the uk. So although I agree it is kind of harsh, it's the governments way of tackling motor accident deaths.
I'm not hating here but I just have to say this. It may have been 'only' 6 mph over the limit, but speed limits are implemented for a very important reason. You may think it's silly having to go to court, but if the government don't take this kind of action then people will reoffend and it potentially puts other people's lives at risk. The faster you drive the less time you have to stop therefore endangering other people. Just look at the statistics then you will realise the importance of speed limits and why it's not stupid at all to take someone to court for going over the speed limit.
Hey here's an idea… Don't speed, don't get a fine! You do the wrong thing, then you can't really complain when you get punished for it, no matter how little over the limit you went. I don't know if you understand just how dangerous it can be if an accident were to occur at just a few miles over the limit.
Speeding fines like these are such a waste of court time! Why can't they just fine you that's it? -.- Other than that, you are a great inspiration Louis! Hope to one day be able to travel and also make little series on that just like you :) xx
maybe if people didnt speed in the first place, as well as often vlogging while youre driving less accidents would happen and the police might be less strict on speeding :) just a thought :) :) speed limits are there for a reason, if youre over youre over
6 mph, thats almost 10kph. Thats a lot over the speed limit! In Australia if you go 3 kph (which is almost 2 mph) over the limit and the police catch you, you get a fine!
Nothing like chilling with the bros! Love the vlogs with the crew! Vlogs with Ben and Steve are the best! It was great seeing all you guys together again!!! Please please do that Africa trip!!! Cannot wait haha I'll meet you guys there!
days in the house show us what you take in your bag things like cases and stuff for your camera I'm looking to travel and want to carry similar stuff to you just want to know the best way of doing it.... so travel must haves :P
So sweet when you guys think a month or two without each other is a long time! Friendship goals. I travel a lot but I have to go away for year or more to make it worth my while haha
If somebody were to ask me to describe Louis I would say that he's a Gentle Giant that resembles a Palm tree and is made up of 80% coffee, 10% awesome editing skills, and 10% world traveller.
I have to say Louis, your vlog's are just as amazing in the UK and home with your family, as they are half way around the world on an epic adventure, And I think it's just cause you're always so positive and polite and you have fun no matter what you're doing!
He's not showing the best example to younger viewers about this speeding fine. It is what it is, and if you start playing with the law, it'l be a criminal record he'l have next, which could potentially stop him from entering certain countries. Going back to when he got into trouble with the RSPCA about the whole animal eating thing, which they found out about, you would of thought he would be a bit more mature about it, and realise what he has done wrong, and set an example to the younger generation of today, rather than complaining about how he's only 6MPH over in a video.
3 years ago me and my family lived in Cape Town for a year and the last two mounts we went on a road trip through Mozambique, Malawi, Zimbabwe, Zambia and Botswana. I highly recommend visiting the Victoria falls in Zimbabwe/Zambia and the island of Mozambique, really cool.
Yes, speeding is speeding, I agree with everyone on the matter, but the fact that he's being dragged to court which costs thousands of pounds per hour. Then when Louis gets to court they'll give him a small fine (compared to the cost of running the court session) and points on his licence. It would be much easier to just give him the points and fine straight away.
If you stole something as insignificant as a penny sweet, that's still stealing.Therefore while it may seem petty, in the eyes of the law, going just 6 miles over is still speeding and is still a crime.
Hey Louis, I think it's interesting to see how different people define an 'adventure', at this time in my life I'm recovering from Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and to me what you did today - going out to a coffee shop to catch up with a friend - is a big adventure! Just a wee thought of mine :) lots of love!
Louis, your England vlogs have always been my favorite. I feel like when your in England I get to see a lot of thoughts going through your head and you contemplating life. Doing action sports isnt really as entertaining for me to watch. Honest, I just really enjoy your hometown england vlogs.
In America, well atleast in Florida, you can pretty much do 10+ mph over the limit with no real issue.....UNLESS it is close to the end of the month and you get a cop that needs to reach his monthly quota :/
I have a warrant out for my arrest right now because I refuse to pay for a ridiculous speeding ticket. 75 in a 70. Seriously?! I suppose I should take care of it and stop being a brat, but in the meantime I'll just avoid Pennsylvania. :)
Wow I'm surprised that everyone in the comments is talking about the speeding fine, and not about how awesome it is that Louis is going to be planting trees in Zambia on a road trip with Ben!
I was surprised also, I thought that was much more interesting than the speeding fine.
I think it's because he mentioned in the title.. and because he called it 'stupid' it's a bit controversial, so although the Zambia thing is more interesting there's more to discuss with the speeding fine :)
Yep. Expected him to be planting dandelions.
+CodyBuffinton They didn't say much about it other than they're planting trees which is great. The ticket thing was at the end and is surprising he'd have to go to court and it seems a bit ridiculous so that's why everyone was talking about it.
We don't mind that your vlogs at home aren't as crazy and adventurous as usual. We are just happy to see any content you post :)
Dude, so stoked to go on this Zambia mission with you and ***** ! I've been a bunch of times - it's rad! For the people reading this, I'm not sure if many of you know, but Zambia has one of the highest deforestation rates in the world, so the work we're going to be doing there is super important. Amped!
I think Im more impressed about the fact that you watch louis's vlogs... But great job with the environmental and reforestation causes...
Speed limits exist for a reason and it doesn't matter how much over the limit you were, you were still over.
The police chasing you up about it is less about you and more about showing everyone else that speeding of any kind carries serious consequences.

Come on dude, please tell me you aren't this stupid.
Alex Cronkleton that has nothing to do with anything, we are talking about a 30mph zone, 36 is no different in modern cars.
So... ZAMBIA IN JULY! :D can't wait bro :) x
Love you
You're an inspiration :)
Oh wow, I didn't see the date in the video.
It's gonna be EPIC if it actually happens!!! You're so cool when you guys are together it's like double epicness!! Also I was like "ZIMBABWE" (if that's how it's spelled) when you couldn't remember because after seeing you in Cape Town I kind of wanted to know everything about Africa because I just need to be aware of space in general so I learned all the countries and stuff...
Putting a reminder in my diary ;) Cheers from daily vloggers in Australia - check us out if get the chance :)
I used to think god it's only a few miles over 30mph who cares. Then I watched a video about emergency stop times in residential areas and if you're over by even a little bit you can potentially kill someone and this is when someone is actually anticipating an emergency stop. When you're driving you cannot anticipate a child running onto the road so your stop time/distance is going to be even greater.
He was in a tunnel. Look at the ticket. Not many children running in the road there, me thinks ;)' good point otherwise though...
amazonian beauty I'm talking about speed limits in general and the attitude a lot people have about them.
Roller sail Which is why the speed limits are that low
i wouldn't trust those ads, with modern breaks, the difference between 30 and 36 is absolutely nothing.
the good hustler Exactly, this isn't the 60's with drum brakes and people need to realise this... Loads on youtube about this very subject.
Thanks for using my intro Louis!! You're one of my favorite UA-camrs because you constantly inspire me to enjoy life and seek adventure whether it's traveling to a new place or just looking at my city from another perspective! I love your positivity and bright personality! Your videos are always fantastic, proving how much effort you put into them! I'm always excited to see one of your videos in my subscription box! Thanks again!
Your intro was awesome! Going to check out your channel now 😊✌️
Brett Worth Thanks such much! :)
I really liked it! It's definitely one of my favorites!!
Your intro was really good I wasn't expecting to see all the travelling bit that must have taken you ages to put together one of my favourite intros so far
You're intro was the best!
Maybe if you were going 40+ in a 30mph I'd understand the fine etc, but as you said, what a bloomin waste of police / court time for 6mph over. Psh.
My dad got on for doing 80 mph on the motorway and mum 36 mph on a 30 mph road😒
theres a reason people are fined for being marginally over the speed limit. faster speeds increase the energy of a crash by an even larger factor. the energy of a crash at 36mph is 50% bigger than a crash at 30mph, this can make all the difference if a car hits someone!

Same in Singapore 😂
Its normally the same in the UK but because he missed the payment (from being outside of the UK) he is now being taken to court to retrieve the funds.
and people want to know why we are in so much debt, its because somebody gets paid 60k a year to send out these pointless forms. what a waste of everyone's time.
The same in the Netherlands! :-)
Same in Germany.. it's not that tragic to drive +6 or +10.. you pay about 15 Euros and thats it ;D
Love a chilled day in the UK
yeah that intro was a bit much i think, you shouldn't feature peoples intro's when its more about them than you...
less of a fan and more of a promotion
chill bro. honestly, it's Louis who's picking the intros and not anybody else. If he sees it fit to include an intro just a few seconds longer (which i thought was brilliant and really shows the amazing way that Louis has inspired real people to make the most of their own lives), i think we shouldn't nitpick too much out of it. plus Louis did mention that his at-home vlogs chilling with the family are a bit more 'uneventful', so he could've thought that the intro might be a bit of a boost as well. all in good spirits man
I liked that intro! Much more interesting and engaging than usual, also better quality overall.
I loved the intro!! It was creative and fun!
That took so much effort & I congratulate the person who did it! Can't be all about negativity! Even if she was promoting her channel, I'm sure whoever stops by would enjoy the channel so why not grasp the opportunity ??
Yes okay it was only 6 miles an hour over the limit, which isn't a great deal when people are doing 100+ down the motorways, but you were ONE FIFTH over the limit, which is a lot. How about leaving places earlier and stop rushing everywhere because you're late before you've even set off.
again, someone who has clearly never driven before
Why can't drivers have this opinion too? I drive and I agree with op
the good hustler you keep saying the same thing like people care...
About your fine. They have to have a cut off somewhere, and you may have gone over. Here in NS Canada our cut off is at 3. We travel in km/h. Speed limit say is at 100km/h you can go maybe 103km/h and its left to the officer to whether you get pulled over get a ticket or a warning. You can post the fine lose your licence for one week (they choose the week and you are notified by mail) or go to court and protest.
Going to court for 36 in a 30 zone? Whaaaaaat :|
Sam Kent It's definitely against the law and I definitely don't support speeding, but I thought all you'd have to do is pay a fine, not go to court o_o
Sam Kent Ohhhhh okay, thanks for the explanation :)
Yeah but the law is the law
Last year a man was killed on the road next to mine because a car was speeding at 40MPH down a residential road. It might seem annoying to you but speed limits are there for a reason!
Well Said and thats sad
Yea.. What's the original speed limit? Because 40 sounds too high for a residential area.. If it's residential, it's usually around 10-25..
he would have been killed at 30 as well
It was a 30mph zone where he died.
The force of the impact would at least cause some injuries, certainly even at 30.
Louis, I really like the chilled days because sometimes even I need a break from your hectic life :)
Loved that girls intro... So creative
Dude you been flat out adventuring for the last 3/4 months. Enjoy your time chillin. You deserve it :)
I really like your vlogs when you're back home! Your family seems so lovely!! No worries about not being busy! :)
in Saudi Arabia they don't charge you, unless your speed is 10% more than speed limit.
if it's 30% more you will pay 90$, if it's 50% and more you will pay 150$
and you can pay it in the ATM, without going to the courts and this stuff.
yeah, but the maximum is 74 m/h
A ang no, because they don't want to waste the courts time on stupid cases, where someone passed the speed by just 6 mph :X
A ang not really . we have too many speed cameras in the city , they may actually stop you for 24 hours or 48 hours if you did something other then speeding + take your car a week with a fine . but still you won't go to court unless you killed someone .
oh right, I see
This is also because only men can drive in Saudi Arabia! Oh also women can't even vote, or try on clothes in a changing room...so no offence but I would rather live in the UK with stricter speeding laws, but maybe that's only me lol
I love your at home stuff too Louis! Everyone needs at home time. Nice to see you relax too!
Louis should have 3 awards
•best blogger ever
•nicest family on UA-cam
•nicest person on UA-cam😂
*vlogger dam autospelling
speeding is speeding...the limits are there for a reason (yes, i did a speed awareness course last week lol)...
A court hearing for 6mph over???? Oh my god, thats really tragic. Fair enough you were speeding but a court hearing for that is stupid...
The intro with the girl travelling was so cool!! One of the best ive seen!!
30 mph speed limits are for places like schools and villages, places surrounded by kids. You are 40% more likely to kill someone if you are travelling at 40 mph rather than 30mph.
I personally love the fact that you vlog the time you spend with your mum dad and sisters. Family values. I live in the US and if more people here were as loving and respectful of their parents and siblings as you are of yours we would all be alot better off.
"Ben's going pick me up tomorrow morning and we're going to London for some mischief" Yeah, I can see the mischief already: coffee in some hipster cafe, chicken in Nando's and another coffee. You naughty naughty mischiefs!
I agree 6mph seems really petty on the basis there is so much hassle involved, but at the end of the day, the law is the law. It's hard to have grey areas and if no one took it seriously then it could cause more problems!
If a law is broken then there is always a court hearing. In the case of speeding it will be a person working in the courts just processing the paperwork. No judges or lawyers involved unless its serious. The person probably processes hundreds daily.
This guy is going to drive 3000 km in a Land Rover to plant some trees. I'm sure it'll be a cool experience, but the hypocrisy of doing it under the pretence to somehow better the world is pretty astounding
I actually enjoy the more chilled part of your life when you're doing ordinary/normal stuff! lol!
You won't have to go to court, they will send a letter back to you saying it has been agreed that you can accept 3 points and a fine. But you can still go to court if you want.
having the chill days are important, they make the adventurous ones all the more fun :)
That's ridiculous! You were 6mph over thats nothing, I think I can walk faster than that 😂
by the looks of it the road is open around 3 lanes and its at night, i was not excusing the speeding just simply saying that it was ridiculous that he could be arrested if he didn't respond and could have to go to court, if he was speeding near a school or along country lanes then I would have a completely different opinion on the matter at hand and would be thinking about peoples lives at risk, but in this situation as long as he wasn't going dangerously fast I think the amount of processes he has to go through is ridiculous I do very much agree with you but I was more so talking about the punishments set in place when I commented about it being ridiculous :)
Even if someone is a few mph over, there still has to be a cut off point. They can't change the legal fines because of someone being out of the country otherwise everyone could make an excuse. Just drive safely!
IT's soo nice to see you at home enjoying family time !!!
Steve's style is so cool and classic. Really love it.
everytime he's back at home im always excited to see when and where his next adventure will be
I can't WAIT to see this Zambia trip, love seeing Africa!
Louis being back home is like the calm before the storm. It's creates this big anticipation of when and where he's off to in the world. I kinda of like it when he's home because he will shock us by randomly saying something like " hey guys!!!! I'm currently on my way to the airport for a flight to Russia from where I'll be on a rocket heading for the international space station.... Yeah bro, what u say about that..... Spaaace!!!!
I gotta say these relaxed vlogs are actually really good. It reminds me that even the most adventurest guy out there has calm days where going out for coffee is the highlight. So stop apologizing Louis its nice to watch a calm day after all the adventure!
"Stupid Speeding" would have been more appropriate. Stick to the speed limit, and you'll never have this problem. Reckless driving is nor attractive. Speeding increases the risk of being involved in a casualty accident. Excess speed makes a significant difference to your ability to stop. For example, driving at 50 km/h you can stop your car in approximately 41 metres, but at 60 km/h it will take up to 58 metres before you can stop. Every kilometre of excess speed makes a significant difference to your chances of being involved in a crash.
In a crash, the faster a vehicle is traveling at the time of impact, the more severe the injuries to the occupants of the vehicle/s involved.
Crash, boom, bang, live the adventure!
It's not the fact that you were only 6 mph over the limit it is the fact that you were 20% over the limit. From a guy that does nothing but travel around the world living off of that very travel, should set a better example for his young viewers. You should simply pay the fine and admit your wrong doing and perhaps just one of your viewers would leaR SOMETHING OF VALUE.
These are actually my favorite vlogs of yours. There's nothing that can compare to spending quality time with friends and family. It's kinda weird that I missed your family, isn't it?
Speeding is speeding, end of. In regards to the waste of time however, you probably do have a point.
Louis! I love it when you have home time. Home time is very important especially when you're away for weeks at a time. Hope you enjoyed your family time! Have fun on your next adventure.
wait... you don't have the option to just pay the fine without appearing in court? in the US you can either fight the ticket at a hearing or just pay the fine. they're going to spend more money on the court costs than the fine itself.
Loved the intro! It was longer than normal, but so creative and made me want to get traveling again! :) (but instead i'm stuck inside because university's closed for another snow day. ahahaha) Thank the Lord we can travel vicariously through youtubers on cruddy days like today. ;)
AHHH THE GIRL AT THE START HAD A DOCTOR WHO BACKGROUND AHHHHH IM SO HAPPY!
I love that you keep it real. I hope you can get the ticket sorted. I look forward to your future adventures.
I enjoy your chilled vlogs just as much as your adventurous ones, you have a great balence
they should prosecute people for dangerous driving rather than how fast they go xxxx
Also this speeding thing happened To my uncle, and apparently they are very strict about speeding between 30 and 40 mph because this is the bracket in which most accidents happen in the uk. So although I agree it is kind of harsh, it's the governments way of tackling motor accident deaths.
I haven't watched his vids for a couple of weeks, I come back and Louis has ALL of the facial hair. lol
louis it is okay everyone needs some with their family and to have a chilled one i enjoy seeing u with your family
The food your mom made for dinner looks amazing.
One of the best intros Louis has used
I'm not hating here but I just have to say this. It may have been 'only' 6 mph over the limit, but speed limits are implemented for a very important reason. You may think it's silly having to go to court, but if the government don't take this kind of action then people will reoffend and it potentially puts other people's lives at risk. The faster you drive the less time you have to stop therefore endangering other people. Just look at the statistics then you will realise the importance of speed limits and why it's not stupid at all to take someone to court for going over the speed limit.
Hey here's an idea… Don't speed, don't get a fine! You do the wrong thing, then you can't really complain when you get punished for it, no matter how little over the limit you went. I don't know if you understand just how dangerous it can be if an accident were to occur at just a few miles over the limit.
I got caught doing 36 in a 30 zone and had to do a speed awareness course almost exactly a month ago.
Louis family are just adorable
Since we all live vicariously through you, we do appreciate a little down-time too!
Louis is such an inspiration to travel the world!!
Getting hungry when you're ready for bed, a tall people thing.
I can't wait for your road trip with Ben!! The vlogs will be awesome :D
Speeding fines like these are such a waste of court time! Why can't they just fine you that's it? -.-
Other than that, you are a great inspiration Louis! Hope to one day be able to travel and also make little series on that just like you :) xx
Sam Kent It's not like he was speeding out of control. Come on, we've all accidentally gone over the speed limit at least once.
Sam Kent Hahaha okay calm down Mr Perfect driver, just stating an opinion.
Louis and Steve are my OTP! For real ahah :) they are perfect for each other
maybe if people didnt speed in the first place, as well as often vlogging while youre driving less accidents would happen and the police might be less strict on speeding :) just a thought :) :) speed limits are there for a reason, if youre over youre over
I love funforlouis' cosy normal days :3
In New Zealand I'm pretty sure you can go 9k over the speed limit and it's fine. So I'll have to remember that it;s not the case in the UK!
6 mph, thats almost 10kph. Thats a lot over the speed limit! In Australia if you go 3 kph (which is almost 2 mph) over the limit and the police catch you, you get a fine!
Louis, don't worry about blogs being less eventful. We share your experiences, so are happy to see the pauses in your life. We pause with you:)
Nothing like chilling with the bros! Love the vlogs with the crew! Vlogs with Ben and Steve are the best! It was great seeing all you guys together again!!! Please please do that Africa trip!!! Cannot wait haha I'll meet you guys there!
And that dinner....Oh my god im hungry now..
The intro was very well done, I enjoyed it a lot!!
days in the house show us what you take in your bag things like cases and stuff for your camera I'm looking to travel and want to carry similar stuff to you just want to know the best way of doing it.... so travel must haves :P
So sweet when you guys think a month or two without each other is a long time! Friendship goals. I travel a lot but I have to go away for year or more to make it worth my while haha
If somebody were to ask me to describe Louis I would say that he's a Gentle Giant that resembles a Palm tree and is made up of 80% coffee, 10% awesome editing skills, and 10% world traveller.
Once my grandmother got a letter about her going 33mph in a 30mph zone, it is literally such a massive waste of time.
I really look forward to the videos where you stop back at home to catch up with family and friends! Its just a pit-stop in the amazing adventure! :)
I have to say Louis, your vlog's are just as amazing in the UK and home with your family, as they are half way around the world on an epic adventure, And I think it's just cause you're always so positive and polite and you have fun no matter what you're doing!
I actually love these homey videos, I'm sure many of us do, go Louis!
He's not showing the best example to younger viewers about this speeding fine. It is what it is, and if you start playing with the law, it'l be a criminal record he'l have next, which could potentially stop him from entering certain countries. Going back to when he got into trouble with the RSPCA about the whole animal eating thing, which they found out about, you would of thought he would be a bit more mature about it, and realise what he has done wrong, and set an example to the younger generation of today, rather than complaining about how he's only 6MPH over in a video.
My three favourite men reunited!
3 years ago me and my family lived in Cape Town for a year and the last two mounts we went on a road trip through Mozambique, Malawi, Zimbabwe, Zambia and Botswana. I highly recommend visiting the Victoria falls in Zimbabwe/Zambia and the island of Mozambique, really cool.
Yes, speeding is speeding, I agree with everyone on the matter, but the fact that he's being dragged to court which costs thousands of pounds per hour. Then when Louis gets to court they'll give him a small fine (compared to the cost of running the court session) and points on his licence. It would be much easier to just give him the points and fine straight away.
If you stole something as insignificant as a penny sweet, that's still stealing.Therefore while it may seem petty, in the eyes of the law, going just 6 miles over is still speeding and is still a crime.
Hey Louis, I think it's interesting to see how different people define an 'adventure', at this time in my life I'm recovering from Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and to me what you did today - going out to a coffee shop to catch up with a friend - is a big adventure! Just a wee thought of mine :) lots of love!
Louis, your England vlogs have always been my favorite. I feel like when your in England I get to see a lot of thoughts going through your head and you contemplating life. Doing action sports isnt really as entertaining for me to watch. Honest, I just really enjoy your hometown england vlogs.
I feel your pain Louis I got a speeding ticket going 5 over and they charged me 218 dollars. It's ridiculous
In America, well atleast in Florida, you can pretty much do 10+ mph over the limit with no real issue.....UNLESS it is close to the end of the month and you get a cop that needs to reach his monthly quota :/
When you first walked into the café it was playing a song by Foals! You should check out their music Louis, they're awesome!
A small speeding ticket is probably just an infraction, Louis. They can't arrest you for an infraction.
Yes I think you are wasting the court's time which is why you shouldn't speed.
In the state I live you must be going 12 MPH over the speed limit before getting a ticket. 12 MPH might be too high but 6 is way to low.
Wow, Louis is amazed that breaking the law and putting lives at risk could have got him arrested
I have a warrant out for my arrest right now because I refuse to pay for a ridiculous speeding ticket. 75 in a 70. Seriously?! I suppose I should take care of it and stop being a brat, but in the meantime I'll just avoid Pennsylvania. :)
You might not want to brag about this on the internet.
It's all good. They know where I live if they want to come pick me up.
YEAH U MIGHT WANNA GET THT SORTED OUT
you're a grown woman, stop acting like a child.
It would be great to see you travelling around the UK, as well as more exotic places :)
Tbh I enjoy these laid back vlogs! Cannot wait for your Zambia adventure!!! 😃😃👌
Every kilometre over the speed limit kills
Anyone know what type of bag Steve uses?
