Watch the video again.
He was under 70mph before he passed the car on the nearside. He may have crept over 70 but not much more than 75mph. Plod accelerated hard to catch up because he thought the bike may go for it when given space.
When the bike went to pull in front of the truck, the truck was aware he was going there and slowed a little to allow it. You can see the biker wave his thanks.
When he then went from in front of the truck to the petrol station you can see the bike remain in the middle lane for a second to check it was clear.
Nothing he did was really dangerous or stupid apart from declining the FPN for an unknown offence. HE certainly wasn't speeding to the point a ticket was required and wasn't careless if you watch the video again.
Just the courts with a dim view of bikes and a plod who woke up in the wrong bed.
