Default Moment 180 mph motorcyclist in T-shirt is caught

Quote:
Nineteen-year-old Marian Vasilica Dragoi was caught reaching 180 mph on his motorbike in southern England.

A police helicopter filmed the events leading up to Dragoi's arrest, which happened after he rode on the wrong side of a motorway to get fuel from a service station.

180mph on a public road. He hits one pothole; one roadkill; hell just some gravel and he has no chance of recovery.

I was thinking he was on his way to a holiday sale somewhere but even this is a bit early, isn't it ? And I thought some of the people I know on motorcycles ride fast.

Or he pops out in front a car and gets hit.

Well that's an automatic custodial sentence for his new years present.

Back in the eighties when the 'eye in the sky' became a common asset we all welcomed the introduction because it alleviated much of the expectation and need for mobile units to get involved in high speed pursuits.

Much easier to vector in from different points and block the route off.
