Mmmm, devils advocate here.

Where does it say that he was holding the phone? I have a holder that will hold my phone and film whereever I drive without me even touching or looking at it.

Secondly, ANYONE travelling at that speed is concentrating 120% on what they are doing. I can speak from experience. Depending on time/place/conditions/traffic (i.e. any or none) it can be perfectly safe to do 140. After all, police traf plod are trained to travel at that speed, racers do it all day, at the TT they are AVERAGING 120+ down normal A roads never mind 3 lane motorways. Now I believe this idiot was using hard shoulder etc which is stupidity but youth tends to give a false sense of skill.

I'll hold my hand up here and I can see my karma taking a hit for it but I bet a majority of people have hit 3 figures at some point, I've been faster, when young I did 155 down the A55 , it was at 3:30am and I was young and daft. I've been past 140 on a few occasions and TBH on todays motorcycles its surprisingly easy and in the right conditions safe. I'm a very good analyser of risk, I take all the conditions into account and make a decision from there. I'm not planning on getting to the next world any sooner than absolutely necessary but I will do what some will not like. he put others at risk and that is unacceptable in my book, but speed alone is not the sin some people like to make it out to be.
