Police video of a speeding biker – double or right click on images for full screen
A MOTORCYCLIST was filmed by police driving at breakneck speeds up to 140mph.
Click on the green play button to see video filmed by police officers and used as evidence to convict the driver.
In astonishing police footage he is seen speeding at more than 100mph on the A21 as he approaches Robertsbridge.
As he enters Hurst Green he is again filmed doing almost 100mph - in a 30mph area.
The damning evidence goes on to show him overtaking on solid white lines, driving on the wrong side of the road, doing wheelies, driving one-handed, zipping between lanes and hitting 140mph on that stretch.
It was the end of the road for Michael James Collins, 22, when he was arrested at the motorcycle dealership in South London where he works on Wednesday, September 24.
Collins, who gave an address in Beckenham, Kent, appeared at Crawley Magistrates Court the following day where he pleaded guilty to a charge of dangerous driving.
He was sentenced to a two year suspended prison sentence, disqualified from driving for two years (with the requirement to take an extended test), given 240 hours unpaid work and ordered to pay costs.
