An image from one of the incriminating videos showed Pepper holding the handlebars with one hand while playing a game on his phone with his other.

And a subsequent investigation of his account showed how he had recorded himself committing offences between March 18 and May 8 this year.

He was banned for six months after he shared the videos of him playing Clash of Clans as he thundered along on his high-powered motor.

Cops pulled him in for questioning after spotting the post on his Instagram page.

He was also spotted in separate videos pulling wheelies and exceeding the speed limit.

Pepper, of Pickering, North Yorks., later admitted driving without due care and attention and accepted that his riding fell far below that of a competent motorist.

Alongside his six-month disqualification, he was fined £300 and was required to pay £230 in court costs.

PC Alyssa Upton said after the hearing: “Pepper is extremely lucky that has hasn’t injured himself or another person yet.

“He is still young and I hope this outcome will encourage him to drive within the limits of the law when he gets his licence back.”
