A motorcyclist who posted films of his high-speed drives through Somerset on YouTube may face prosecution for dangerous driving.
Jeremy Parrott, 37, made videos of himself on his Yamaha R1 motorbike reaching speeds of up to 100mph.
Parrott was caught after he included his home address in Burnham-on-Sea in the films, allowing local police to find him.
Officers interviewed the biker earlier this week and he was reported for summons.
The video was made by attaching a camera behind the motorcycle windscreen, showing the speedometer on the dashboard.
The films, which have now been removed from YouTube, showed Parrott driving through a built-up area, past a housing estate and close to a school.
Avon and Somerset Police said that anyone making similar films was putting their own life and the lives of other road users at risk and asked anyone who knows of speeding offences to contact the police.
