It would seem that they don't necessarily need to see your plate on the speed camera to do you for it... Unless he was silly enough to go through one the wrong way, that is. I guess they must have tracked the bike with CCTV, easy enough to do I guess if you make a big enough nuisance of yourself

They were going to let it slide and let him off with a slap on the wrist, but apparently he'd taken his restrictors out

The worrying line in that article is this one...

"It is expected that the points will be wiped from his licence once he has served his ban. "

Right-o...so say I got 3 points from a fixed camera (35 in a 30)I could expect a £60 fine and for the points to remain on my licence for 4 years...yet had I wheelied, travelled at more than 80mph and shown a blatant disregard for the law all the point's I'd accrued would then be wiped out after 18 months.

Then there's this chestnut right at the bottom...

"This case should send out a clear message that such reckless riding will not be tolerated."

Had they taken a hard line, zero tolerance stance and banned him for life then yes, maybe some would think twice. But they didn't and in 18 months he'll have a clean licence and be free to do it all over again...which positively screams "toleration."

[ghettostan]

it says "He received six points for each speeding offence and an extra three points for driving without control. "

driving without control?

doesnt it take alot of practice and control to pull a wheelie?

i wish i could wheelie lol

[trevoriv]

The points are irrelevant whether or not they stay on his licence or not because the next time he goes for insurance they are going to ask if he has been banned in the last 5 years or so to which he will say that he was banned and when they ask why he will have to declare that he has a total of 6 SP50 convictions and then one CD10 conviction from 18 months ago.

It is at this point that the insurance company will giggle ad either tell him to feck off or ask whether he would like to pay by monthly instalments or by anal shafting.
