A motorcyclist who posted films of his high-speed drives through
Somerset on YouTube may face prosecution for
dangerous driving.
Jeremy Parrott, 37, made videos of himself on his Yamaha R1
motorbike reaching speeds of up to 100mph.
Parrott was caught after he included his home address in
Burnham-on-Sea in the films, allowing local police to find
him.
Officers interviewed the biker earlier this week and he was
reported for summons.
The video was made by attaching a camera behind the motorcycle
windscreen, showing the speedometer on the dashboard.
The films, which have now been removed from YouTube, showed Parrott
driving through a built-up area, past a housing estate and close to
a school.
Avon
and Somerset Police said that anyone making similar films was
putting their own life and the lives of other road users at risk
and asked anyone who knows of speeding offences to contact the
police.
Avon & Somerset police may
use the clips to prosecute.
