A man has been banned from driving for 12 months after being caught on camera doing a 103mph wheelie on a major road in North Yorkshire.
Lukasz Wisniewski pleaded guilty to dangerous driving after being clocked in excess of 103mph on the A63 in Newthorpe by a clearly visible police camera van.
He was given a 12-month driving ban and ordered to carry out 200 hours of community service.
Police inspector Dave Brown said that he “should be thankful that he is still here” to face his sentence.
He continued: “His riding showed complete disregard for his safety and that of other people. The consequences of such irresponsible riding could have seen him facing far more serious offences.
“Riders and drivers need to be bear in mind the capability of the safety camera and its ability to capture indisputable evidence from all angles and at a greater distance than a conventional safety camera.
“We know the vast majority of riders are sensible and use their machines safely and considerately, this message is aimed at the arrogant minority who show complete disregard for safety and the potential, life-changing consequences to their own and their families’ lives.”
