150 is that all . He must only have been in about 4th gear

I guess this could go one of two way...go easy as roads are quiet OR more likely make an example, big fine or custodial??? Doubt they will want to lock him up though.

I reckon they will want to make his punishment as hard as they can as a warning to others!! I don't think he will be riding his bike again for a long time!! He must be gutted as he was probably on a long straight section on his own thinking how great it was for there to be virtually no other traffic. I wonder if it was a camera or unmarked car that got him?

that's only going to go one way and its not good for the guy on the bike....traffic police will still be on traffic duties and just now there will be far less for them to dilute their attention.
doing that speed and during a national emergency under lockdown conditions....hes fucked....
