Skipton magistrates told Phillip Yates, 56, they were appalled by his speed and were sick of motorcyclists using roads as racetracks.

The court banned Yates from driving after he admitted doing 102mph on the Clapham bypass, in North Yorkshire.

The court heard Yates was stopped by police on the A65 on October 24. The speed limit for the road is 60mph. In mitigation, the court was told Yates only accelerated briefly and was sorry. Yates, of Huddersfield, was banned from driving for 56 days and fined £350.
