A cyclist has actually had his bike took after consistently setting off a speed video camera.
The unnamed man, 44, broke the 30mph speed limitation 6 different times on Pembury Road in Tunbridge Wells, Kent.
And whenever he did it he made offending hand gestures towards the video camera – showing he was aware of what he was doing.
Police chose to do something about it and sent an unmarked car to the place last Wednesday.
Within 15 minute the man on the bike occurred and he was discovered to be unlicenced and uninsured.
He was reported for both offenses and he will likewise be brought to justice over the speeding.
The Kent Police Roads Policing Unit tweeted: ‘Great work from RPU 5 who stopped this male with help from colleagues in our Traffic Process Unit.
‘He had no licence and no [insurance] and multiple speeding offences pending… we hope he’s got some comfier shoes with all the walking he will be doing.’
Chief inspector Craig West, the force’s head of roadways policing, said: ‘Speed limits and cameras are in place to protect the public and should not be treated as a game.
‘Motorists who speed risk receiving a fine and points on their licence, and in certain cases being brought before the courts.
‘More importantly they risk causing a collision that could result in a death or serious injury.
‘Please remember to drive responsibly at all times to protect yourself and other road-users.’
Six times appears a lot, however one laundry shipment driver might deal with a massive 81 charge points after being captured speeding 22 times in simply 3 weeks.
