How not to drive

Posted : 20-03-2007

Those who have just purchased or enjoy riding their motorbike may want to take a tip from a motorist in Australia on how not to drive.

Kane Maccabei was caught by police riding his chopper at an incredibly risky speed of 200 kmh (124 mph) last October, a court heard this week.

According to the Illawarra Mercury, Maccabei was fortunate not to meet a sticky end when he crashed into a barrier after hitting the top speed, while the police also charged him with negligent driving as he weaved in and out of traffic on the F6 road.

"What he did was dangerous," Robert Webley, defence solicitor told the court. "He went through the inside of two vehicles which were merging."

Motorists might want to use the story as a reminder to keep an eye on their speed and maybe even treat themselves to some protective clothing as the summer months approach.
