 :o 150mph, yeah right !!  Certainly not doing anywhere near that speed in this clip.
Look at his progress compared to the 'L' plated bike in the row of almost crawling traffic.

Anyone that thinks he is doing or even decelerating from 150mph in that clip is a fool.

Don't get me wrong, if he or any other driver/biker gets caught doing that kind of speed on a public road then they deserve what they get, but there is no way that guy is doing 150 mph...at that point.

If the bike was doing 150 then what were the rest of the vechicles doing.

Agreed there's no way the biker could slow down for the traffic in front in that  from 150 short distance and time

I think this will become a case of timing againt the white dotted lines based on how many spaces they can accurately count and time him over.

He admitted doing 89mph, which looking at the footage seems feasable.

Also on fast roads I think all speed teast should be done over timed marking as it has been proved many times that a wandering speed gun can prove to be inacurate.

Poor kid gets my vote.
