Andrew Tate Caught Speeding at 121mph in Romania Despite Legal Troubles
Andrew Tate fined and banned from driving for reckless speed while facing serious allegations.
Andrew Tate is once again in the headlines for reckless driving after being recorded at 196 km/h (121 mph) in a 50 km/h zone in the small village of Bujoreni, Romania, approximately 184 km from Bucharest. The internet celebrity, who is embroiled in various legal troubles including serious charges of rape and human trafficking, was slapped with a £310 ($420) fine and had his driving license suspended for 120 days due to the egregious nature of his offense, as reported by local authorities.
The 38-year-old Tate, alongside his brother Tristan, faces multiple pending charges both in Romania and other jurisdictions, but they continue to live in Romania under court-imposed conditions. The brothers were allowed to travel freely within the country while awaiting their ongoing legal processes. In April 2021, Tate was previously caught speeding while driving a Porsche at 138 km/h near Bucharest, showcasing a pattern of reckless driving behavior.
Tate is notorious for flaunting his luxury car collection on social media, often seen posing beside high-end brands like Bugatti and Lamborghini. This lifestyle fuels his controversial persona, as he combines gleaming images of wealth with statements that have garnered him a massive following — and equally devoted critics.
Despite his recent speeding incident, which serves as a stark reminder of the dangers of excessive speed, Tate has openly criticized British police for what he deems as the lack of corruption opportunities, explaining his move to Romania in 2017. He stated that he enjoys an environment where "corruption is accessible to everybody" and has expressed disdain for the financial integrity of law enforcement in the UK.
As he awaits trial in Romania, Andrew and Tristan Tate are also set to return to the UK to address serious legal issues, including 21 criminal charges of a severe nature. Meanwhile, they are also beset with a civil lawsuit in the US brought by four women alleging coercion into sex work. However, both brothers continue to maintain their innocence regarding all allegations against them.
