Driving ban for biker who filmed death
A speeding motorcyclist who filmed a fellow biker's death crash with a camera fixed to his petrol tank, has been banned from driving for three years.
Frederick Bowden, 42, was caught riding at 156mph on his 1,000cc bike in Camborne, Cornwall last summer.
Beside him on July 13 was Andrew Prowse, 46, whom Bowden was unwittingly filming with a camera mounted on his Kawasaki ZX10-R.
An inquest in March heard that Mr Prowse, from Helston, Cornwall clipped a car and was thrown under an oncoming camper van to his death.
Police found that his final collision 300 yards from the Loggan's Moor roundabout in Hayle was captured on Mr Bowden's camera which was still running.
Bowden, also of Helston, later pleaded guilty to a single charge of dangerous driving and was sentenced to a three-year ban by a judge at Truro Crown Court. He was also given a 51-week prison sentence, suspended for two years.
He was not charged in relation to his companion's crash.
