An experienced biker who died after colliding with a ambulance hit a top speed of over 168mph during a journey with a fellow motorcyclist, a court heard.
Mr Addison, from Grainthorpe, Lincs, was on a ride with his best friend and fellow biker Adam Clover, 31, who was following behind on his less powerful 675cc bike which had a top speed of just 150mph. Steven Gosnell, prosecuting, said there was evidence from his bike that Mr Addison’s front wheel speed reached 168mph on the A16 Louth bypass, and he was still travelling at 140mph some 228 metres before he hit the ambulance.
It emerged on to the A16 at Calceby, near Ulceby Cross, just before 6.30pm on June 9, 2020, when the collision happened. The court heard Clover was given a one month driving ban in 2017 for speeding at 80mph in a 50mph limit, and received three penalty points in 2020 for doing 80mph on the M62. Both offences occurred in his works van.
“Mr Clover was able to stop some yards before the ambulance, and actually assisted the ambulance driver getting out the vehicle, as there was damage to the front door,” Mr Thompson added.
