The rest of us kept it on and he who still gets the p1ss taken now was done for 155mph, averaged over 100 yards at 110.. oh, how we laughed then and are still laughing now
I know there are a few Bikers on here.
You can now be held responsible for the speed of the rider behind you now according to
THIS
JUDGEMENT
How long before other groups on a runout get caught up in this mess?
Neil
Wow, that really is a big catch-all. I wonder if it will be extended to cars?
lol at the swinging cop. dickheads..
Vultures.
More money for the public purse pension scheme.
Law and Justice are mutually exclusive of late
I'm bemused. Could I get done for shoplifting if the bloke behind me nicks something? Or be in court for murder if some bloke up the road kills someone? Or get a speeding ticket if someone is about to overtake me at 90mph..even though I'm under the limit?
Years ago there was a bunch of us hooning along the A1.. blue lights and sirens catch our attention and the only one who got done was the one who
stopped

How do they prove you are leader of the group? And what if you are riding on your own, doing 68 and someone you don't even know cruises up behind
at 80 to pass, gets pulled and prosecuted. Do you get done too. How do you prove you were not his leader? After all most of the riders pulled round
any town probably live in it and may even vaguely know each other enough to give a wave even if they are not close friends.
What if you're riding along at 70 and you see a bike chasing and catching you? Are you required to take some action to slow him down below the
speed limit as this judgment says you have some responsibility for the crimes committed by those following you (even without your consent?) and if so,
What?
I'm sick of the UK courts.

Cool. Contrary to S.163 RTA and you've just admitted it to the whole world. Winner
just deny being the lead rider, and say you were trying to keep up with bob who just f****d off at 155!
maan, that is so bad ... but easy pickings rather than targetting the real crims such as stabbers, kiddie fiddlers, granny robbers etc...
f***K ME!!! This will engender respect for the law won't it Does this only apply to bikes? if not, watch your back on the next PH run out
So if you are in a group of 5 and the last in group gets held up at a junction and speeds whilst catching the rest up (who are all within the limit)
the lead driver/rider also gets prosecuted??????? WHAT B*LLOCKS
Anyone want to buy a mint 2001 R1 with 19K on the clock? Regularly seen at the front of rideout.......
R1-2

scum... im sick of the bloody coppers only working to make money for the government.
see if they spent this much time patroling the streets...
"Sorry officer I've already had twelve points for speeding in my life, I'm daft but I'm not stupid I was doing spot on (insert
speed limit)"
The most I've admitted to is doing "the width of the needle" above 30, and tbh that's generally it, even at 6am on a sunday
morning!
Sorry pal unless you catch me speeding you can't do me for speeding. Also who says the leader's at the front?
thats fecking ridiculous!!!!! - how can you be done for speeding when they didnt catch you speeding? - what if your bike was limited? - that ruling is a farce does it apply to police convoys?
