Kieran Jones was recorded on a speed camera on the A22 in Eastbourne Road, Halland, on seven occasions.
He reached as high as 80mph in a 30mph zone, but would conceal his registration plate to avoid detection.
Officers from the Roads Policing Unit used a plan and were able to catch and arrest the 24-year-old in February.
At interview, Jones admitted he had been the rider wearing a distinctive helmet in several speeding incidents.
He appeared in court where he admitted dangerous driving, driving without due care and attention, failing to stop, failing to comply with a solid white line road marking, and eight counts of speeding between July last year and February.
Speeding is one of the main reasons why people are killed or seriously injured on our roads.
One in three collisions in Sussex is caused by motorists travelling at excess speed above the speed limit.
At Crawley Magistrates’ Court on March 11, he admitted the charges.
Jones, formerly a landscape gardener of Hornbeam Road, Reigate, was disqualified from driving for three years and ordered to complete 225 hours of unpaid work as part of a six-month suspended prison sentence.
I know that stretch of road and there were probably several complaints about him to the police, it's a residential road through the village and I expect a lot of people heard him. Enough people shouting will get the police and CPS to push anything through to court.Cousin Jack wrote: ↑Tue Jun 25, 2024 8:24 am Also seems that the standard of evidence required is a bit lower in this case. CPS often decide to drop charges because the evidence is 'weak', often when most ordinary people would describe it as somewhere between adequate and overwhelming.
Was his helmet really unique, or was it just a bit unusual. My spare helmet might be identical, the CPS don't know.
I realise that fluffy kittens were endangered, but this looks and feels like a vendetta.
A mate was stopped one morning heading to work. To be fair to the residents who had complained to police, his Triumph was a tad noisy. Police knew what time he would be passing, so we're there solely to get him.
So who else knew about both the Downing Street people and the Met officers being referred to the Gambling Commission? Are they accusing the Gambling Commission of the leaks?BBC wrote:Met denies being source of election bet leaks
So, "dangerous driving, driving without due care and attention, failing to stop, failing to comply with a solid white line road marking, and eight counts of speeding" but he wasn't charged with "conceal[ing] his registration plate to avoid detection". I wonder why. Surely there's a law against taking the piss out of the law?Taipan wrote: ↑Mon Jun 24, 2024 9:18 am Busted!

Really? 80mph through a 30 on what seems to be a regular basis? I think twats like that need a break from riding a bike. I know I RLAT on occasion (moreso when I was over there) but 30's and 50's we did 30 and 50 (also did 20 in the few 20's that were near me in Bristol at the time).Cousin Jack wrote: ↑Tue Jun 25, 2024 8:24 am Also seems that the standard of evidence required is a bit lower in this case.

Hardly unusual, there are loads of English people eligible for irish passports. A few on here IIRC.
