A BIKER was recorded speeding at 117mph on the A35.

He was stopped by Dorset Police's No Excuse Team yesterday.

A spokesman for the team said: "This motorbike was recorded at 117mph on the A35 Puddletown, resulting in the rider being reported to court.

"Why do people take the risks and speed?

"A van driver was also stopped on the A35 for speeding and didn't realise he was restricted to 60MPH due to the class of commercial van."
