If it hadn't come out of the news paper with a photo, I wouldn't have believed it.

Basicly what it says is:

Headline: Motorcycle rider slides past speed camera

Body: A 50 year old rider braked too hard and slid out, it was a double problem (1 falling) and 2 caught on camera. In the horizonital position he slide past the camera traveling 137 kph (legal speed is 120 kph). Rider was taken by ambulance to the hospital with a broken wrist and damaged hand.

Now here's the kicker! If he still has to pay a fine is still unknown (for speeding). This is because there were other violations that occured; unnecessary brakeing, driving too fast and causing an accident. The judge still has to rule how much and for which he has to pay for.

A friend of mine did this in Lincoln Nebraska a long time ago. Luckily he low-sided but got a speeding ticket skidding down the highway.
