The footage from February 17 shows the rider, 30, zooming off down a highway passed glowing police sirens before fishtailing and crashing, sending sparks showering from his bike.

As the officer was speaking to him, the rider suddenly hit the throttle and took off, which led to him crashing.

Following an investigation the man was slapped with $3,000 in fines.

He was given a $321 fine for not being in control of his vehicle, a $551 fine for careless driving, an $827 fine for failing to remain in place, and a whopping $1286 fine for speeding by more than 40km/h.

He also was issued eight demerit points and had his license suspended for six months.
