Rider overtakes roads open car

A biker was stopped by police after overtaking the roads open car following last night's TT practice.

The roads open car leaves the Grandstand at the end of each practice or race session to confirm the course is open to traffic again, but each section remains closed until the car has passed.

Police say the biker will be dealt with firmly as the overtake means they were travelling on closed roads.

The incident comes just a day after a spectator entered closed roads at Crosby, resulting in a four-week prison sentence and an exclusion order.


Added at 16:00hrs Wednesday.

The rider of this motorbike, a 44yr old man from Stoke on Trent, will be appearing at Court tomorrow.

Biker handed himself in to police

A UK man who overtook the roads open car on his motorbike this week is warning other riders to be careful after he was prosecuted at Douglas Courthouse.

44 year old Jason Horn of Blurton in Stoke-on-Trent admitted riding on closed roads and was fined £400 with costs of £50 by magistrates.

The court heard he'd handed himself in to police after an appeal social media, and hadn’t realised what the roads open car was.

After his conviction, he told Manx Radio he felt lucky not to have been jailed.

Fair play for handing himself in but that's where the praise stops, what a plonker, how can you not notice a car with flashing beacons on the roof and think "hang on a minute"

RE: Rider overtakes roads open car
Heard the fella talking on the radio this morning.He said he got a £400 fine and avoided jail only because;

1.He handed his self in
2.The beacons on the car were not switched on

Hey we all make mistakes and the lad did seem sorry and £400 lighter.
