Motorcyclist jailed after filming himself riding at nearly 200mph

A motorcyclist who filmed himself riding at speeds of nearly 200mph has been jailed after detectives used the footage to prove 21 dangerous driving offences.

Amin Belechguer has been sentenced to 4 years in prison after committing a catalogue of dangerous driving offences and trying to goad police into high speed pursuits.

At around 10.45pm on 27 June 2025, patrols spotted Belechguer riding a high-powered Kawasaki Ninja H2r motorcycle at speed along the A20 Ashford Road towards Maidstone, without a registration plate.

The officers were enroute to a separate incident, with the patrol car’s lights and sirens activated, when Belechguer pulled in front of them.

He began slowing and waved at the officers to goad them into a pursuit.

Pursuit

The constables pursued Belechguer for a short distance.

In that time, he travelled at over 130mph on a single carriageway with varying speed limits between 40-60mph and crossed over solid white lines into oncoming traffic on the blind brow of a hill.

The pursuit was stopped due to risks and the crew called for backup.

Further up the road, colleagues deployed a stinger, which Belechguer ran over and his tyres deflated.

He was forced to stop and attempted to evade capture by running into hedges at the roadside.

Moments later, he was stopped by officers and arrested.

Seized

The bike, which Belechguer bought for around £19,500, was seized at the scene, alongside his phone and GoPro camera.

Officers reviewing his digital devices subsequently discovered that from, 7 July 2024, Belechguer had filmed himself riding in Kent, London and Essex, at top speeds of 189mph.

Recovered footage showed him:

• travelling at more than double the speed limit on motorways and through town centres,
• performing dangerous manoeuvres, such as undertakes and ‘wheelies’,
• failing to stop at red lights,
• racing other vehicles at car meets,
• and riding on a pavement and pedestrian crossing.

Clips also included the journey that ended in his capture.

Belechguer, of Poynders Gardens in Clapham, London, was subsequently charged with 21 counts of dangerous driving.

Sentenced

The 29 year old pleaded guilty to the offences and was sentenced at Maidstone Crown Court on Wednesday 21 October 2026.

In addition to a custodial sentence, the bike was made the subject of a forfeiture order and permanently confiscated.

Upon his release, Belechguer will also be subject to a 10 year driving ban.

Investigating officer, PC Daniel Goodman, said:

‘Officers worked swiftly when presented with the opportunity to arrest a dangerous motorist. Despite having to terminate a pursuit due to the dangerousness of Belechguer’s driving, teamwork saw his vehicle brought to a stop and secured his arrest. ‘Not only did Belechguer drive at triple the speed limit in some instances, but he demonstrated little regard of basic road safety when he failed to adhere to road markings, signage, and traffic lights. ‘Throughout the investigation, Beluchguer showed no remorse for the fact he placed his life and the lives of other road users at risk on numerous occasions. ‘This prison sentence, the confiscation of his bike and a long driving ban will keep other motorists safe for some time to come.'
