A motorcyclist has pleaded guilty to a series of driving offences after riding through Sussex at speeds of more than 100mph and crashing twice.
Gavin Collett, of Bramber Road, Broadwater, was seen speeding on the A24 before crashing at a junction with the A27 last Thursday.
He was followed by a police helicopter but later fled on foot. He was later arrested after having told his local newspaper that he was going to give himself up to the police.
The 32-year-old admitted two counts of failing to stop at the scene of a crash, dangerous driving, driving while disqualified and having no insurance.
He was remanded in custody by Crawley magistrates and will be sentenced at Lewes Crown Court on 12 April.
Tony has been riding motorcycles for over 35 years and he's been a motorcycle writer for over 25 of those. He's ridden almost every motorcycle you can think of at most places around the world and he's partial to some racing, too. A Taurus, Tony doesn't believe in horoscopes (but then that's exactly what a Taurus would say!) but he does believe in Mandalorians and their right to earn a living.
