Following a Thames Valley Police investigation, a man has been jailed for dangerous driving in Milton Keynes.
Lewis Baker, aged 35, of Tadmarton, Milton Keynes, was sentenced at Aylesbury Crown Court today (10/7) to 15 months’ imprisonment and a driving disqualification of ten years.
Baker pleaded guilty to one count of dangerous driving and was found not guilty by a jury of one count of causing death by dangerous driving.
On 9 September 2023, Baker rode his motorbike through Buckinghamshire and Oxfordshire at dangerous speeds for sustained periods of time. His riding often exceeded 130mph on A roads and at times it exceeded 160mph, putting himself and other road users at serious risk of harm.
On passing sentence, HHJ Cooper stated that they felt the standards of riding displayed by Baker were “as bad as it could be” and that his sentence had to reflect the multiple breaches of the law committed that day.
In his closing remarks, HHJ Cooper said that the place for driving at those very high speeds was a racetrack, not the public roads.
Baker himself stated to the courts that he had driven like a “menace”.
Senior Investigator, Philip Hanham of the Serious Collision Investigation Unit, said: “Dangerous riding puts lives at risk and can have the most devastating consequences.
“Baker’s riding was appalling and is the worst I have seen on a motorbike in all my 30 years as a police officer and investigator.
“Baker showed total disregard to the law, other road users’ safety.
“On day of this appalling riding, Baker was filming his dangerous riding with the intention of sharing with others. This showed his intent to ride in the dangerous manner that he was rightly sentenced for today.
“This case serves as a stark reminder that everyone who uses our roads has a responsibility to do so safely. Dangerous behaviour can and does change lives forever.”
