M20 bridge collapse: Injured biker, 73, recalls 'chaos'

He plainly had superb reactions and knew exactly what to do in what must have been very frightening circumstances.

I wouldn't like to be the person charged with cleaning his trousers

It's caused a bit of chaos around J3 of the M2 today !

Well I for 1 wish Jim a speedy recovery and hope that when I get to 73 I would still have the nads to lay a bike on its side at 65mph good luck mate and what a story to tell the great grandchildren.

Love the BBC reporting.
"Mr Shaw's bike was trapped under tonnes of concrete following the collapse."

er... no it wasn't, as the picture you put under the words clearly shows...

Is it under the bridge?
Does the bridge weight tons?
Is it in a location such that it cannot be retrieved safely (e.g. Trapped)?

Technically I don't see anything wrong with the statement.

Well that would appear to answer the query of whether the load was too high. Clearly CPS have an opinion.

Have they not banned him? FFS seems a pitiful sentence when we have seen incidents of people JAILED for speeding when no accident or damage occurred.

Stupid old .
The biker, blimey, hell of a save.
