Driving ban and fine: British motorcyclist flashed 68 times

It is known that suppliers are often under great time pressure. A case from Great Britain shows how much of a hurry they really are. Apparently it was especially important for a supplier there to deliver the food hot to its customers’ doors. According to British media, Bilal Abdullah (25) was flashed no fewer than 68 times. Or rather: its two engines.

It remains unclear whether Abdullah himself was behind the wheel. The vehicles recorded by the speed cameras are a red Honda motorcycle and a blue Yamaha motorcycle. Both were registered in Abdullah’s name.

Flashed five times in one day

According to media reports, vehicles were pushed too hard almost every day between March 20 and July 14 last year. They were often flashed several times in one day. If Abdullah was on a motorcycle, he was probably in a hurry on May 12: he was caught speeding five times. The day before there were four times.

Abdullah’s motorcycles were usually photographed by the radar systems at night. They drove on the main roads in Brighton and Hove, where the speed limit is 30 miles per hour (about 48 km/h). However, they were recorded there at speeds of 36 to 51 miles per hour. This corresponds to approximately 57 to 82 km/h.

The court cannot prove who was behind the wheel

As Abdullah’s vehicles were continuously flashed, police attempted to contact him several times. They used an Ibis hotel address in Romford, which Abdullah had used to report the vehicles. They asked him to tell them who was on the motorcycle.

However, Abdullah did not respond to any of the letters and was summoned to court. The 25-year-old did not show up there either. Because it could not be proven who was driving, Abdullah could not be prosecuted for the speeding violation. But he did not go unpunished.

Abdullah received 408 penalty points

On December 14, the court awarded Abdullah six penalty points for each offense for failing to provide authorities with the requested information. In total, he earned 408 points on his learner’s license. To clarify: In Great Britain, the ticket must be returned if you have 12 penalty points.

Abdullah was also sentenced to a two-year driving ban and a £1,000 fine. There is also a victim surcharge and court costs. In total, the supplier must pay 1,844 pounds, the equivalent of approximately 2,000 francs. (Mrs)
