The timing was bad for the biker but perfect for the police
A biker picked the "worst time" to pull a wheelie on a North Wales road. The incident happened in North Flintshire this afternoon.

Unluckily for the rider he performed the stunt in front of an unmarked police car in the Shotton area. In addition to that the rider was already on a section 59 warning.       Some people you can't educate

A video has captured the moment a biker was caught overtaking an unmarked police car on solid white lines. Dashcam footage from the police vehicle captured the manoeuvre, which happened on the A470, at Ganllwyd, Gwynedd, last year.

The footage has been released in a bid to highlight North Wales Polices' OpApex campaign, to reduce the risk of motorcycle-related deaths and serious injuries on the roads.
