"Osborne, who has now sold his motorbike and travels to work on a bicycle..."

But it wasn't a camera this time - "He was observing traffic on the A412 ..."

"Mr Rogers said Osborne's "grossly excessive" speed was just a short
burst to overtake a lorry and insisted he had not been racing with
Bolger."

remarkable fast bursts just to pass a lorry.
