Lewis Hamilton in police trouble after taking selfie while riding motorbike in New Zealand

Formula One star Lewis Hamilton might have performed a PR disaster after he posted a selfie video of him while riding a power bike on a busy road during his holiday at New Zealand. In New Zealand it's a crime to operate a phone while riding a bike or driving a car and the police have begun investigation to ascertain whether the video was recorded by hand before prosecuting the World's number one car racer.


On first being made aware of the selfie, a spokesman for New Zealand Police said:
‘If there is clear evidence that a mobile phone has been used to record this footage and it has been recorded by hand, as opposed to from a fixed device, then this would be deemed an offence.' ‘The use of mobile phones is a significant distraction, especially on a motorcycle, and can cause serious crashes.’
Using a mobile while driving, or riding, has been illegal in New Zealand since 2009. It carries an $80 fine (£37) and 20 penalty points.

    They have been pursuing this guy from day one. The British people love him but the major papers dailymail and co. Hate him. No matter his achievements they alway find something to criticize. Now that he has 'allegedly' made this mistake, I would definitely be time for the crucifixion.
    The new Zealand police have now dropped the matter, but trust the British press, they will continue to investigate hoping for a chance to end the man's career. Hatred is their fuel.
    His only sin is that he is black. I like his attitude though. He just keeps on living his live. Haters gon hate.
