A reckless motorcyclist who filmed himself reaching speeds of almost 200mph on roads across Kent, London and Essex has been jailed for four years after police uncovered footage proving 21 dangerous driving offences.

Amin Belechguer, 29, from Clapham, south London, was sentenced at Maidstone Crown Court on Wednesday, 21 October 2026, after admitting a catalogue of dangerous driving offences, including racing other vehicles, performing wheelies and ignoring traffic lights.

The motorcyclist was finally caught after attempting to provoke police officers into a high-speed pursuit on the A20 near Maidstone, where he reached speeds exceeding 130mph before his motorcycle was stopped using a police stinger.

Rider Tried to Goad Police Into High-Speed Chase

At around 10.45pm on 27 June 2025, officers travelling along the A20 Ashford Road towards Maidstone spotted Belechguer riding a high-powered Kawasaki Ninja H2R motorcycle without a registration plate.

The officers were responding to an unrelated incident with their emergency lights and sirens activated when Belechguer pulled in front of their patrol car.

He deliberately slowed down and gestured towards the officers, apparently attempting to provoke them into chasing him.

Police pursued him for a short distance, during which he accelerated beyond 130mph on a single-carriageway road with speed limits ranging from 40mph to 60mph.

He also crossed solid white lines into the path of oncoming traffic at the blind brow of a hill, creating a serious risk of a collision.

Officers abandoned the pursuit because of the danger posed to other road users but alerted colleagues further along the route.

A second police team successfully deployed a stinger device, puncturing the Kawasaki’s tyres and forcing Belechguer to stop.

He attempted to escape on foot by running into roadside hedges but was detained and arrested moments later.

GoPro Footage Revealed Speeds of 189mph

Following the arrest, police seized Belechguer’s motorcycle, which he had purchased for approximately £19,500, together with his mobile phone and GoPro camera.

When investigators examined the devices, they discovered a substantial collection of videos showing Belechguer repeatedly putting other road users at risk.

The footage, dating back to 7 July 2024, captured him reaching speeds of up to 189mph while riding across Kent, London and Essex.

Recordings showed him travelling at more than twice the speed limit on motorways and through town centres, overtaking dangerously, undertaking other vehicles and performing wheelies.

Other clips showed him ignoring red traffic lights, racing vehicles at car meets and riding across pavements and pedestrian crossings.

Investigators also recovered footage of the police pursuit that ultimately led to his arrest.

The videos provided crucial evidence linking Belechguer to 21 separate dangerous driving offences.

Four-Year Prison Sentence and Ten-Year Driving Ban

Belechguer, of Poynders Gardens, Clapham, pleaded guilty to all 21 counts of dangerous driving.

At Maidstone Crown Court, he was sentenced to four years in prison.

His Kawasaki motorcycle was permanently confiscated under a forfeiture order.

The court also imposed a ten-year driving ban, which will take effect following his release from custody.

Police Condemn Dangerous Riding

Investigating officer PC Daniel Goodman praised the teamwork that brought Belechguer’s dangerous driving to an end.

He 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.”

PC Goodman said the rider had shown little regard for the safety of others, repeatedly ignoring fundamental road rules and travelling at speeds reaching three times the posted limit.

He added: “Throughout the investigation, Belechguer showed no remorse for the fact he placed his life and the lives of other road users at risk on numerous occasions.”

The officer said the prison sentence, permanent confiscation of the motorcycle and lengthy driving disqualification would help protect the public from further dangerous driving.

The case highlights how footage recorded by offenders themselves can provide investigators with evidence of serious motoring offences committed across multiple locations.
