A motorcyclist had their bike seized after performing a wheelie on the A33 in Reading.

Thames Valley Police Roads Policing said the rider had already received a Section 59 warning before being stopped.

The rider was also travelling with their number plate flipped up.

A marked roads policing car was directly behind the motorbike when officers stopped it.

A court date has been arranged.

Police said there is no correct or appropriate time to ride in such a way.

They warned that riders who choose to do the same will be dealt with in the same manner.

The force shared details of the incident on social media, asking whether the rider would choose options A, B, C or all three.

The rider chose option D, meaning all three actions took place during the incident.
