the case was in court last week was it not. and the jury could not reach a verdict that they all agreed with, so he faces a retrial

no way near 150mph. not lent over enough on a bend like that to be doing that speed and only braking for a second or two.

They couldn't reach a decision after 5 hours, i dont know if he's either got the worst possible legal representation or the jury were drunk....unconscious

Compare that video to this one of a bike being tailed by an unmarked police bike at up to 143MPH and see the difference. There's no way the Plymouth one is even close to 150.

sorry to drag an old thread up from the dead but i recently heard the rider went to crown court and had changed his plea to GUILTY and received i think 2 year ban, suspended prison sentence and a hefty fine.

Anyone know if its true?
