"166mph biker seduced by speed
A biker has been jailed for nine months after being caught doing what is believed to be the fastest speed ever recorded on a Scottish road. Neil Purves, 27, of Cockburnspath, was detected by police as he travelled at 166mph on a 60mph stretch of the A702 near West Linton in the Borders."
Seems a bit harsh when all he did was to exceed the speed limit by 100mph or if you prefer 177%. if he'd simply shone a laser beam at a police helicopter he'd have had a nice day out talking to the boys in blue about their extravagant toys (as long as he'd agreed with them that he was a very naughty boy of course). http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/wales/sout
p.s. coincidentally the same speed I achieved (indicated) on a 70mph road though I have no witnesses unless the bloke in the Fiat panda makes himself known.

If he'd have killed or harmed anyone he might've got slapped wrists!A biker has been jailed for nine months after being caught doing what is believed to be the fastest speed ever recorded on a Scottish road.

Not something I'd recommend, but 9 months FFS?
