Default Another speeding biker jailed in Devon

There's a bit more to this one though - few more offences as you'll read. Entertaining video. I was thinking, 'who'll insure this bloke again' but then he didn't bother this time round...

After watching copious amounts of the channel 5 cop show on a Friday evening i think they can chase as long as they get permission it's safe to do so. I guess if they didn't have a chopper they had no choice

Piggy did good to keep up ;D (and yeh his mudguard was tied on with shoelaces O.O)

Police can continue a pursuit as long as the duty officer (normally an inspector or above) deems that it is safe to continue. If the guy had been putting the public at danger then the pursuit would have been called off.

This guy desereved the jail - what an idiot!
