the UK has somewhat stricter driving standards

doing it for a second or two would likely be classed as "driving without due care and attention", resulting in a fine if convicted

however doing it for as long as in this video I suspect would be classed as "dangerous driving", with disqualification being the likely result



I'd be very surprised if someone lost their license over doing this in the UK - you might get a fixed penalty notice but I suspect if you managed to explain to the police what you thought you were doing you might get away with a good telling off. Of course, if anyone got hurt you'd be in serious trouble...
