An Italian motorcyclist is appealing after he lost his licence when speed cameras clocked him at an impossible 383 mph.
Paolo Turina, 26 - who also copped a £200 fine - claims the speed camera was clearly so defective the charge should never have been brought.
"If I could go that fast I'd enter my bike in the MotoGP world championships. Valentino Rossi would not stand a chance. What did they think they were clocking - a jet fighter?" asked Mr Turina, of Cernusco Lombardone.
"If the court rules the fine will stand then I'm going to send it to the Guinness Book of Records - after all if the court says its true then I should get the credit for this remarkable feat."
Police claim the camera was working perfectly but said they suspected bungling staff botched the charge paperwork.
The appeal court has not yet made a decision on the case.

TBH, I'd accept the fine and get my name in the history books! :D

Wow! wish my Guzzi had been that fast! I could have had brolly men (or brolly blokes sounds better) ;)

Will they be able to prove what speed he was actually doing?

Says it was a paperwork error not a camera failure so should be able to trace it back to what the camera originally said.
I, of course, hope he gets away with it. No harm done ;)

It was probably 83 mph and a typo from some fat fingered bozo turned it into an impossible speed .

Well they do say red bikes are faster...

I bet it was 38.3 in a 30 limit.Anything more than that and the Guzzi would be in a thousand bits at the roadside.
