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.

but unfortunately the court is likely to believe Plod

unless he's good at maths and can do a calculation to prove the cameras wrong :-/

[Turk]

Can't see how they can honestly say they think he was doing anywhere near 150 mph, but with so much publicity, Plod will want this one to stick. 

[Darth Loo-knee]

I can't see that being 150mph.. the cars on his side would seem to be in reverse gear... so I'm told 

[Broomies Mate]

Fortunately, the discrepancy in what 'seems' to be the speed (90 ish) and what was recorded (150mph) is vastly different.  I can only hope the courts watch the footage with the correct open mind and not the usual "we can make some money from this one" mind.

Had the recorded speed been 102 or 107mph, I fear the rider would be in some smelly stuff right now.

[Entwood]

No sympathy for him whatsoever.

Speed limit is no where near 90 mph .. so he was speeding. Guilty.

He was driving a bike for which he has no licence. Guilty.

I believe this means he probably had no insurance . Guilty

So, if he had hit someone, would everyone still be nice and sympathetic   He knew what he was doing and has to take the consequences.

The title of the thread is correct ....  "idiot biker"

Well spotted.  I didn't read the full article, only watched the video.

I still personally believe that 90 in good conditions on that stretch of road is not unsafe.  Obviously illegal, but not unsafe.

OK .. not "everyone" showed sympathy ....    but several have...  "poor kid" ... "court likely to believe plod" .... and similar ..

Taken from the 'full story':
The former force sniper and firearms officer quickly spotted the speeding vehicle and pulled the trigger on his speed gun.
Looks like they can get it wrong with any kind of gun. 
 
Prosecutor David Gittins told the court Marriott was "racing into the distance", crouched low over the bike's petrol tank to maximise his speed when he was forced to brake.

  It's a ZX-6, a sports bike...not a Harley with 'Ape Hanger' bars.  There is only one riding position...crouched low...over the tank.

It's the 150mph speed reading that is the issue here. He deserves everything he gets for the 'no licence' etc.

My appologies, Iwatched the footage, if he was riding illegally then the spedd allthough a big issue is irrelevent if you get my point and the shite shouldnt have been on the bike it the first place.

Throw the book at him and have him shot.

I honestly thought that was what the Tank was for, resting your Tummy on then your chin when your back aches
