- description: A motorcyclist who weaved in and out of traffic at speeds up to 148mph with a pillion passenger on board has been banned from driving for 15 months. Paul Roberts was filmed by an Essex Police motorcyclist as he rode south on the M11 reaching the highest speed ever recorded in the UK by a rider carrying a passenger. Roberts, 43 of Malkin Drive Lane, Harlow, who runs a taxi firm in London, was riding to work on his Kawasaki ZZR 1400 with a friend as passenger on Friday September 12, 2014. He joined the M11 at Hastingwood and was seen and followed by Pc Paul Hills who was involved in a motorcycle safety operation on the motorway. A video camera on Pc Hill’s bike recorded events as Roberts weaved in and out of traffic across all three lanes. At one point he is seen riding through a narrow gap between a lorry and a car. Roberts was eventually stopped near Chigwell and later summonsed for dangerous driving. He admitted the offence and appeared for sentence at Chelmsford Crown Court today, Monday March 30. He was also ordered to do 120 hours community service, told to take an extended re-test and to pay £460 costs.
