Motorcyclist Jailed Four Years for Filming 189mph Rides, High-Speed Chase

A 29-year-old motorcyclist has been sentenced to four years in prison after accumulating 21 dangerous driving offenses, including being filmed traveling at speeds up to 189 mph. Amin Belechguer was arrested last year after police spotted him speeding on his Kawasaki Ninja H2r motorcycle on the A20 Ashford Road near Maidstone, Kent, without a license plate.

Officers, en route to a separate incident with lights and sirens activated, observed Belechguer merge in front of their vehicle. He then reportedly slowed down and appeared to taunt the officers, prompting a pursuit around 10:45 p.m. on June 27, 2025. During the chase, Belechguer traveled at speeds exceeding 130 mph on a single carriageway with speed limits ranging from 40 to 60 mph. He also crossed solid white lines into oncoming traffic while navigating a blind hill.

The pursuit was deemed too dangerous to continue by the initial officers, who then called for backup. Other officers deployed a stinger device, which successfully deflated Belechguer's tires, bringing his motorcycle to a stop. He then attempted to flee on foot into nearby bushes but was apprehended by officers shortly after.

Belechguer's motorcycle, purchased for approximately £19,500, was seized along with his phone and GoPro camera. Examination of his devices revealed video footage from July 7, 2024, showing Belechguer riding throughout Kent, London, and Essex at speeds up to 189 mph. The recovered videos documented him traveling at more than double the speed limit on motorways and through town centers, performing dangerous maneuvers such as undertaking other vehicles and performing wheelies. He was also recorded running red lights, racing other vehicles at car meets, and riding on pavements and pedestrian crossings.

Belechguer, who resides in Clapham, London, pleaded guilty to all 21 counts of dangerous driving. He was sentenced at Maidstone Crown Court on Wednesday. In addition to his prison sentence, his motorcycle was permanently confiscated via a forfeiture order. Upon his release, Belechguer will also face a 10-year driving ban.

Investigating officer PC Daniel Goodman stated that officers acted swiftly to apprehend the dangerous motorist. He added that despite the need to terminate the pursuit due to Belechguer's driving, teamwork led to the vehicle being stopped and the arrest being made. PC Goodman noted Belechguer's disregard for basic road safety, including exceeding speed limits, ignoring road markings, signage, and traffic lights. He emphasized that Belechguer showed no remorse for repeatedly endangering himself and other road users. The sentence, confiscation of the bike, and driving ban are intended to enhance public safety.
