Belgian influencer banned from driving for 17.5 years over racing videos

A Belgian influencer has been handed a 17.5-year driving ban and a €25,000 fine for posting videos of himself racing at high speeds on social media. The influencer, known as adil.gofast, rented multiple sports cars, including Lamborghinis, Porsches, and Maseratis, and was recorded driving at speeds exceeding 250 km/h, often through busy Brussels traffic.

With nearly 38,000 Instagram followers, adil.gofast also filmed rides in Tilburg and Rotterdam, though no excessive speeding was evident in those clips. The court revealed he had previously received a driving ban but continued to drive and film. He was also caught with drugs while driving and convicted of a hit-and-run.

In addition to the ban and fine, he must retake his driving exams and undergo medical and psychological tests.
