An uninsured motorcyclist who repeatedly set off a speed camera while giving it the middle finger has had his bike seized by police.

The 44-year-old man exceeded the 30mph speed limit in Pembury Road, Tunbridge Wells, on six separate occasions.

Officers attended the location in an unmarked vehicle on the afternoon of Wednesday, April 26, due to the rider’s antisocial driving and the risk he posed to other road users.

He arrived within 15 minutes and was found to be unlicensed and uninsured.

Police confirmed the rider was reported for both offenses and will be summonsed to court for speeding.

Chief Inspector Craig West, head of roads 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.”
