150 mph (not a chance).

[arryace]

thats not! 150 he would have hit the vehicle in front had it been.

Well your own video evidence proved that no-one was at risk, and there was no disaster, how can a statement like that be used in a court of law

because when the rider commited the offence he had no idea as to the outcome of his actions.

[billalrebhan]

Don't care what anyone says,there was no way he was doing 150,the camera or the cop is lying,would not be the first time for either

[brfc7]

I'd say he was defiantly not doing 150mph in that clip  If he was I want to know what brake mods he has done to his bike. As he managed to go form 150mph to 50mph (ish) in less than 4 seconds (from entering clip to catching car) and his brake lights are on for less than 1 second (I know the lights could be faulty)

[rotax81]

that looks to be about 100 but never the less he should not be done for any speeding if they have not got a figure.
should be done for riding an unrestricted bike though which i presume will not be covered by insurance.

AND if he was riding a C model he would have passed 15 seconds earlier 

[scooby]

well just watched it and as it says 150 on the camera it must be true.

[shooey]

because when the rider commited the offence he had no idea as to the outcome of his actions.

From a purely legal viewpoint though, the outcome of his actions are there, no one was at risk, therefore the statement made by the Policeofficer is circumstantial and not relevant 

So therefore should not have been allowed to make that statement in a court of law, because its an opinion and not a fact 

[jaffa]

Beats me why he never had a small plate on 

Also that could be Kerm cos look at his fooking chicken strips 

If you notice the traffic looks to be doing about 30mph if you gauge it with the speed they pass the white lines

[Kermittheflyingbog]

Cooont 

For the record my 636 is black 

[arryace]

because its an opinion and not a fact 

no it is a fact, to travel at 90 in that manner on a busy road does put his own life and others lives at risk, the statement demonstrates that the rider had little or no regard for anyones safety.

[Skinny55]

You given up the idea of waiting to hear all the facts, then?

I agree it doesn't look like fast, but remember the angle of view of the camera can distort perception of speed. It actually looks like the camera could be a long way back (telephoto lens used, not wide angle) which means the proportional distance moving away from the camera is not large, making it look like he's going slower than he actually is. The only way to get an idea of his speed from the video is to measure his position relative to the bolts/rivets on the central reservation; does anyone know how far apart they are?

Having said all that, the camera doesn't look like a precise way of measuring the speed of a bike - if the laser hits in the centre of those crosshairs then it was only the bike for a short time, and waving from side to side as it was the beam could strike a position further forward on the bike than the first reading, hence massively incorrect reading. Also there must be a reason he thinks he could argue 90mph (which is obviously still over the limit).

Thanks for the facts, yoof  

Knew it wouldn't take long

Whatever happened to bikers being rebels fook sake   Sad and twat come to mind

[Legzr1]

'Arry is correct.


A severe victimless crime like this deserves everything the law can throw at them.

At that speed he could have killed a kitten or something.


Far better if he'd have hit someone then he'd serve half the sentence because he didn't intend to kill anyone.




Law.
Ass.
Fucked up.

There's a sentence there somewhere...

[shooey]

ah but the fact and that which was videoed, conclusively shows that no ones safety was 'actually' in jeopardy 

and the Policman is making an assumption regards his opinion and attitude to safety 

I think you know where I'm ging with this Arry 

Oh btw I noticed Arry's  at the end of his last post, never assume something about someone 

[billalrebhan]

Adolf Hitler was a nice guy

 

 

[Legzr1]

Oh well.

After all that; denial,re-trial,questioning evidence,retired coppers giving evidence (the speedgun is accurate at 150 because NASA used it for spacestation docking at 12mph wtf  ) he takes expert legal advice and pleads fooking guilty!

All things considered (speed,dangerous driving,no licence,no insurance and pissing around with court time) he should consider himself lucky (imho).
