It seems that these days, it's hard to find a policeman when you want one. But here at Bikesure, we've found what we think is the fastest and easiest way to distract a copper from his latest doughnut and turn up at your house.

Yes, simply upload a video of your bike travelling at high speeds and overtaking dangerously to your favourite video sharing site, and a member of Her Majesty's Constabulary will be despatched to take a statement, as soon as they've conducted a thorough and wide-ranging nationwide investigation.

That's what this chap did,



and now he simply has to wait for the police to complete their investigations into who he in fact is, and his next knock on the door will likely be the entire South Yorkshire force.

Say the police:

"We will do everything we can to identify these riders."

Seriously though:

Bikers: Don't ride like a muppet (that overtaking was shocking), and if you do, don't film yourself doing it, and if you must, don't post the film onto the internet.

Police: Here's a free tip: instead of scouring the internet looking for dangerous road users, who you then can't find without a lengthy and extensive investigation, why not look for them on the roads, where they actually are, in real life, and what's more you might actually catch and stop them in the act?
