Moment idiot motorcyclist who crashed attempting 70mph

Lee Oliver's headcam filmed the moment he was flung from his bike and into the path of an oncoming van - which by pure coincidence had a camera fitted to the dashboard.

The 38-year-old has now been banned from driving for four years and fined £1,000 after a court heard he and a friend had filmed themselves reaching speeds of 130mph. 

Oliver was racing his friend Lee Cunningham, 39, other along country roads in Uckfield, East Sussex, on May 15 last year when he attempted the stunt.

The pair from Horsham, West Sussex, had recorded their entire journeys including their speedometers - which meant police could prove what speeds they hit.

Oliver clocked 130mph and Cunningham reached 137mph, including riding at triple the speed limit in a 30mph zone, Lewes Crown Court heard.

Oliver then attempted the wheelie on a straight section of road and was hurled from his bike. 

Despite the van driver slamming on his brakes so quickly he was struck from behind, Oliver smashed into the vehicle and tumbled down the road for another 45ft.
