YouTuber busted after posting video of 192-mph jaunt down busy CT highways

He had a need for speed — and now, he needs a good lawyer.

Connecticut cops arrested a 22-year-old influencer this week for a risky and reckless motorcycle ride — at 192 mph — he took last year across two of the Nutmeg State’s busiest highways.

Showboating YouTuber Brice Bennett would likely have gotten away with his death-defying joyride, had he not shared the frightening footage with his 220,000 subscribers, according to an arrest warrant obtained by The Post.

State police said they were tipped to the video’s existence by Gov. Ned Lamont’s office, which received an anonymous complaint about Bennett’s YouTube channel in late December.

Bennett’s self-incriminating video allegedly shows him weaving in and out of traffic on his Honda CBR 1000RR Fireblade at speeds of up to 192 mph.

The video has been viewed over 4 million times since it was first posted to YouTube 11 months ago.

According to the warrant, cops reviewed 72 videos Bennett posted in 2024, and found many showing “a male . . . traveling at reckless speeds on public roadways.”

While the video includes a disclaimer that “All content is filmed in Mexico” and has “no affiliation to the poster in anyway,” cops said the helmet-cam clip was filmed in the Nutmeg State, along Interstates 84 and 91, between New Haven and Hartford.

They also used his own social media profiles to trace the YouTube account back to Bennett.

“Based on Bennett’s YouTube and Instagram accounts, he has been found to drive recklessly, exceeding 85 miles per hour with ease,” it is alleged in the warrant. “Bennett unsafely passes other motorists, creating a high risk of physical injury to others and himself.”

This year, Bennett has posted 16 videos, “indicating ongoing instances of his unsafe and illegal driving habits.”

The influencer was arrested at his home in Bloomfield, and has been charged with reckless endangerment, reckless driving, and failure to drive in the proper lane.

Bennett posted $5,000 cash bond for his release.
