Well, it sounds indeed like a fantasy story, but things couldn't be any more real: a motorcyclist in Corsica, a French island, has been recorded riding at ridiculous speeds by the same radar no less than 52 times during the last 9 months.
Now, how is this possible, you'll surely ask. Well, the guy knew very well where the speed trap was positioned and kept on speeding in that area, each time facing the radar camera, knowing it can't "see" his registration plates.
Well, doing this once could have been ok with the cops, but repeated offenses meant a serious disrespect for road regulations. At the same time by "speeding" we mean 172 km/h (107 mph) in a 50 km/h (31 mph) zone... so after no less than 52 "flashes" the cops really had it with this guy.
So they analyzed the pictures and found out that the rider was driving a Yamaha VMAX. Since there were only 10 or so VMAX bikes in Corsica, it was all just a matter of time until they found the guy. Off went his license and bike and a very hefty fine is of course, on its way.
