Motorcyclist Gets Speeding Ticket While Crashing

Source: Autoblog.com | Published: Mon Oct 17, 2011

Motorcyclist Boris Maier was riding near Bern, Switzerland when he was ticketed by a speed camera for traveling 107 km/h (66 mph) in an 80 km/h (50 mph) zone. Where things get real bad for Maier though is the fact that he wasn't even on his motorcycle at the time the picture was taken, as the Swiss rider had crashed, and was caught barreling down the highway by the camera.

In analyzing the crash, Swiss police believe Maier saw the speed camera approaching, and locked up the brakes on his motorcycle while attempting to lower his speed before he went through trap. The bike began to slide and after the rider lost control completely both him and the bike hit the pavement on their way to a painful but sure stop.

It's an unfortunate situation all the way around, though the story isn't completely dark and dreary. Had Maier been traveling just 3 km/h (2 mph) faster through the speed sensors, his license would have automatically been suspended, which means that he went above and beyond the call of duty to bring his speed down in time.
