He is due to appear before Lewes Crown Court for sentencing on October 15.

Inspector David Derrick said: “Police will continue to patrol areas highlighted by the public where this anti-social driving has taken place.

“We urge anyone with further information about these individuals, bikes or areas to come forward.

“Dangerous driving and those driving without proper documentation have no place on our roads and we will continue to endeavour to deal with offenders robustly and put them before the courts.”
