A motorcyclist was caught driving on the pavement by police.

On Sunday evening, police in the Ribble Valley released a CCTV image taken from one of their patrol cars, showing the rider of a bike who had seemingly dodged some roadworks and mounted the footpath.

Another motorcyclist can be seen directly in front of the police vehicle.

After clocking the registration number of the bike, the police said they will be paying a visit to the rider, and will also be issuing them with a ticket.

A spokesperson for the police said: "This rider either didn't see the police behind them, or was too busy speeding and riding along the footpath to notice. Not sure which.

"Either way, expect a visit and a ticket shortly."
