Brice Bennett, a 22-year-old influencer, was arrested by Connecticut police for a dangerous motorcycle ride he took last year at a staggering speed of 192 mph across two busy highways in the state. The arrest came after Bennett shared a video of his reckless ride with his 220,000 subscribers on YouTube. In the video, he can be seen joyfully reaching speeds over 190 mph on his Honda CBR 1000RR Fireblade while weaving in and out of traffic.
The video, which has garnered over 4 million views, led to Bennett’s arrest after an anonymous complaint was received by Gov. Ned Lamont’s office in December. Despite Bennett’s attempt to claim the footage was filmed in Mexico, authorities confirmed it was shot in Connecticut on Interstates 84 and 91 between New Haven and Hartford. They also linked the YouTube account to Bennett through his social media profiles.
Bennett’s reckless driving behavior was further evidenced by 72 videos he posted in 2024, showcasing him speeding dangerously on public roads. Police allege that Bennett consistently drove at speeds exceeding 85 mph, unsafely passing other vehicles and putting himself and others at high risk of injury.
Following his arrest on charges of reckless endangerment, reckless driving, and failure to drive in the proper lane, Bennett posted $5,000 cash bond for his release. His ongoing pattern of unsafe driving habits, as depicted in his recent videos, has raised concerns about his behavior on the road.
