 A bizarre video has emerged of a learner motorcyclist performing a daring and unwise 'superman' manoeuvre on a motorway near Evesham, Worcestershire on Friday.

The footage, captured by a passing motorist, shows the man lying down on the bike while travelling at high speed.

Writing online about the bizarre sight, the uploader said: "Check out this lunatic planking at 60mph on dual carriageway".

ps
they say motorway in story which is not correct as L's not allowed on motorway!

Riding my motorbike home one night, rounded a bend and there was a full size horse standing on the road. Where are all the horses when you need them. :whistler:

Learner drivers in LGVs (with L plates) are permitted on motorways.

Learner Bikers are not allowed on motorway so whoever wrote the article didn't proof read as states motorway in title and at beginning of article then dual carriage way towards the end.


Also, road in clip wasn't motorway and the still looked to me like country road.
