Biker clocked at 383mph

An Italian motorcyclist is appealing after he lost his licence when speed cameras clocked him at an impossible 383 mph.

Paolo Turina, 26 - who also copped a £200 fine - claims the speed camera was clearly so defective the charge should never have been brought.

“If I could go that fast I’d enter my bike in the MotoGP world championships. Valentino Rossi would not stand a chance. What did they think they were clocking - a jet fighter?” asked Mr Turina, of Cernusco Lombardone.

“If the court rules the fine will stand then I’m going to send it to the Guinness Book of Records - after all if the court says its true then I should get the credit for this remarkable feat.”
