Hope he gets done for wasting police time. Nice protective gear too in the photos. Can just imagine the scene in his local nick when he turns up with his "evidence"

Surely he should know as an instructor that speed doesn't necessarily represent out of control and irresponsible riding...

He's made his bike look almost 'police like' - what an idiot!

I highly doubt the police would be able to do much with his so called 'evidence' anyways. By sounds of it the footage doesn't show speed / speedo and as someone pointed out in the comments, speedos are often wrong so how does he know he's not actually going 63mph instead of 70 (Assuming 10% defecit).

As far as I know it can't be used as speeding evidence, considering the police have to have speed, distance and time tattooed onto the video and they also have to be trained in how to use the equipment and get it calibrated like ProVida.

Focus on all traffic though for dangerous driving, that would be more benefical e.g. people using their phones

Obviously he is one of those "Frothing at the mouth" types who are generally "a bit ill" in the head . Why would you bother yourself with all of that . Darwin Awards are handed out regularly to those that don`t succeed . We have enough on our plates in the motorcycling fraternity without this type of fervent and militant "Do Gooder" adding to the pot . As stated , his "Evidence" probably isn`t time stamped and admissable and will soon become a pain in the butt for the Police .

the police wont like it at all, coz he is doing a job they are supposed to do.... one day they will turn on him coz he is giving them a red face..

where is he a riding instructor ... i would be interested to see his motorcycle riding control... a mr do it by the book type, the type that think they can ride but once they get into a little trouble their off and in hospital ... blooooody plonker.. i'm all for riding responsibly but that's just to much...

Just don`t sweat it over people like this , chances are he will be "Black Marked" by the community locally and anyone that says they are going to him for lessons may be put off by others . He will harm his own business for a little while and may realise that his actions do him more harm than good . People like this surface and disappear just as quickly . They wind us up like clockwork toys and are gone by the time our rants have finished .

Firstly, its says hes an ex courier. Well icant beleive that if he wanted to be a succeful one that he never challenged the sppeds limits.

Secondly, if ihes travelling at 60 in a NS area and its clear and theres nothing about and I pass him as 65 to 70 then to me that aint dangerous. Speed isnt the devil everyone makes out and its KN*bs like this who only reinforce this falsehood

why doesn't he just join the police - do 2 years on the beat, apply to traffic, do all the exams, then apply to bike division? Or would the paperwork & real criminals be too much for him?
