Video showing a teenager filming himself driving one-handed at 80mph in a 30mph zone has been released by police after he was jailed for causing death by dangerous driving.

Lewis Meadows, 19, of Cliff Road, Felixstowe, pleaded guilty to causing death by dangerous driving at a hearing on 9 September. He was sentenced to four years in prison and disqualified from driving for seven years.

Mary Kinsey, 74, from Felixstowe, Suffolk, died after a collision on Church Road in the town in November 2024.

Meadows was not using his phone during the collision. Police recovered videos from his device from as far back as 2023 showing a person sitting in the driver’s seat of numerous vehicles, recording themselves driving at high speeds and attempting dangerous manoeuvres. The person wore clothing matching Meadows', while vehicles matched those that Meadows had access to.

  1. only cost 4 years of your life to kill people by the way!

  4. Time to raise the minimum age to 21, mandatory black box, no passengers and no driving at night.

  7. A seven year ban means nothing cause he will be back behind the wheel cause there’s no enforcement of the ban. There should be a list like sex offender one, where people who are banned can’t buy a car,mortar bike, van etc until they do their time

  9. Lengthy sentence and should be banned for life.

  10. Should get 10 years minimum and never drive again.

    This is light, someone lost their lives and in 3 years with good behavior the killer will just go on with his life

  12. We really are cooked as a species when we film ourself committing crimes for internet points.
