Escaping Gridlock at 235kph?

A motorcyclist rode at 235kmh to escape police after being held up at roadworks, a court heard.

Ryan Bullough of Wollongong claimed that frustration with slow traffic and roadworks led him to record one of the highest speeds on the Hume Highway.

I don't want to conflate this with the MRAA's earlier suggestion that motorcycles be allowed to share the bike lane, but if this is what happens when a motorcyclist decides to "let go of the throttle a bit"...

Yeah I saw that story but I totally failed to make that connection. A motorbike rider might well get "frustrated at being held up" by all those damned bikes in the bike lane and then ... ?

Cheers,
