It comes after officers warned the coronavirus lockdown was not a “free for all” to break speed limits and use roads like a racetrack.

Police followed the bike off the M23 to Fulking, West Sussex, where the rider momentarily managed to slip out of sight.

Officers saw a van in a nearby car park and asked the driver if he had seen a speeding bike but he replied “no”.

But the police spotted the bike in the car park and the rider was caught.

At that point, the van drove off.

A 25-year-old man from Worthing has been reported for dangerous driving, speeding and failing to stop.

His bike was seized.

Chief Inspector Michael Hodder said: “Just because a road is clear, it does not give you licence to speed or commit any other offence.

“Speed kills. The motorcyclist in this incident can count himself lucky to be alive — he could easily have killed himself or someone else.”
