Police have warned bikers to take more responsibility after witnessing “shocking behaviour” on Devon and Cornwall roads. The force’s roads policing team highlighted incidents of speeding and undertaking and even one where a motorcyclist tried to kick a car while passing it on the left.
The force took to social media to call out what it described as “shocking” and “foolish” behaviour. In a post on X today the road policing team said one biker had been clocked at more than 95mph.
The force said: “More motorcyclists doing foolish things. One travelling at 95+ in a 50mph limit (past Crealy). Another undertaking multiple times on a dual carriageway at speed, as well as trying to kick a car whilst undertaking it at over 60mph. Shocking behaviour.”
