[Closed] Motorcyclist plunges 40ft from the Cat and Fiddle - gets up without a scratch

I don't think SPECS "cameras" actually take a photograph - they just read your number plate and the Cat and Fiddle ones (and those in the roadworks on the M1 near J28) are rear facing.

Ah, that's good.

Good to see him done, no mention of the sentence though

So from that report it appears he only came to the attention of the police due to posting the video (could just be BBCs spin on it I suppose)

Ha Ha!

I'm Captain Slow over that road and when he came past me i carried on at my normal pace and stayed with him, the corner he binned it on was nothing special, in fact I don't think I even needed to brake until I saw him slide across the road in front of me!

I know what you mean. It's often quite easy to stay with someone 'faster' just by going smoothly and steadily. It's more relaxing too. Bikes have such performance that it's simply not necessary to use most of it to go extremely rapidly indeed, within the speed limit and quite safely.
