Police motorbikes couldn't keep up
A car company boss managed to evade police motorbikes in a £300,000 supercar on a motorway at more than double the speed limit.
PCs Gerry Mina and Iain Graham, who had escorted former president Donald Trump in Scotland this month, spotted the businessman race along the road in March 2021. PC Mina, who has 22 years’ police service, said they had been conducting “covid patrols” in Ayrshire as there were lockdown restrictions in place at the time.
“I looked at my speedometer and I was doing 120. The distance between us was increasing all the time.The road traffic officer, who has worked in the department for 16 years, described the driving as “horrendously dangerous” and added: “If he hits a car, it goes without saying, the consequences of that”.PC Graham has been a traffic cop for 19 of his 23 years as an officer.
