00:00A motorcyclist was handed $3,008 worth of traffic infringement notices after riding

00:05past a highway patrol cop while performing a wheelie. The 22-year-old rider was travelling

00:10in the northbound lanes of the Bruce Highway in Tanawa on the Queensland Sunshine Coast

00:15on Monday, October 20, 2025. An officer witnessed two bikes riding in convoy and clocked the

00:2222-year-old driver at 155 kilometres an hour in a 110-kilometre zone. He was issued nine

00:29demerit points, fines of over $3,000 and a six-month licence suspension.

00:34Probably pretty obvious why I pulled you over. I'm following you from the on-ramp there.

00:41Alright, do you know what the speed limit is on the on-ramp? Why is your plate folded up

00:47as well? It's on a hinge. Why is it like that? To avoid detection? Yep.

00:58It's still expensive. It's just over $3,000. It carries nine demerit points and it does

01:18have a six-month high-speed suspension on your licence.

01:24So, so, you're defective, okay? You've got to have your reflectors on, on the sides. You've got to have a red

01:29reflector on the back. Alright, get a ticket for a number plate like that. Okay, obviously it's on

01:35a hinge. It's a smart decision to pull over because the helicopter's up tonight and that would be a

01:40sure way to go to prison if you fail to stop, even with no plate on. No one can outride the helicopter.

01:46You know, it's expensive today. It's still pretty expensive. It's $2,085. Alright, you also get a

01:53high-speed suspension on your licence. Okay, it's just way too quick, mate. Way too quick,

01:57unfortunately. Alright.

02:02Even if you're a really good rider, that speed, those speeds, harder, something I expected.

02:06You just can't like that sort of speed of. Alright. You don't want to be that bloke. He was only really young.
