Extreme speed motorcycle crash | Over 260 km/h

New laws have been introduced to South Australian Parliament today, targeting extreme speed drivers. This video depicts motorcyclists driving at extreme speeds, including one rider who filmed his own life-changing crash. This crash put the rider in a coma for 2 months, gave him a permanent brain injury and put him in full time care for the rest of his life.

The man’s wife allowed us to use this video because she wants you to see what happens when you drive or ride at extreme speed. Tuesday 25 May 2021, laws were introduced to Parliament that would see a maximum penalty of up to 5 years imprisonment and a mandatory minimum license disqualification period of 5 years for people who drive or ride at extreme speed.

Extreme speed is defined as driving or riding at 55km/h or more above the limit in a zone marked 60 or less, or 80km/h or more above the speed limit in a zone marked above 60.
