150mph Plymouth.
 

Sorry if this is a Hitler post, I did search it but found nothing.
Looking at the video, I have to agree with the defendant that it looks around 90?

I doesn't look 150mph to me either. Surely they would be able to measure the distance traveled and the time it took?

Still doesn't really excuse the fact that he was on a restricted license but riding a full powered bike.

Re: 150mph Plymouth.
 

Definately not at 150. The speed officer wouldn't have got a reading if the was doing 150

And the lazer and lydar guns have been scientifically proven inaccurate

Re: 150mph Plymouth.
 

Well apparently the jury could not agree so a retrial ordered.

Another of those bogus cases where a simple speeding offence is re-labled dangerous driving.

Re: 150mph Plymouth.
 

Since when was trying to get out of Plymouth as fast as possible an offence?

/coat (mines the one with Kernow on it)

Re: 150mph Plymouth.
 

Video doesn't show much. Doesn't seem like his hammering the brakes to near miss that van though, & given stopping distances, distance from Lazer, amount of other traffic on the road, the fact his folks can afford a lawyer etc.

Was speeding, shouldn't have been, without a license. Fine. Ban. Job done. Or waste some money with another trial. Lawyers need to eat too.

Edit: 2008? 2008? This has been kicking around since back then?

Re: 150mph Plymouth.
 

You can see his brake lights come on, it's only for a couple of seconds at most. If the van in front was doing 70 that means he slowed down by 80mph in 2 seconds?
Also the van is in view in the still with the recorded speed on it so it wasn't recorded further back.

Re: 150mph Plymouth.
 

If that's the video of the speed being recorded then it's a total joke. (Unles the rest of the traffics doing 130.) First dibs on that scooter.

Speeding & unlicensed still apply.


Edit: Another Plymouth herald horror story.... http://www.thisisplymouth.co.uk/news...l/article.html

I expect the paper has made up half of the stuff supposedly said by the copper but I would be very suprised if an ex sniper would get so upset about a bike going a little bit faster than the other cars on a motorway.

Can a 600 ninja even do 150mph?

Re: 150mph Plymouth.
 

Agreed shouldn't have been speeding or dicking round when on a restricted licence . IT's restricted for a reason
