A teenager who spent all his time souping up his moped has been caught by the police on his first drive through town after reaching 75mph. The 15-year-old German boy had spent all his money and most of his time working on the moped and had managed to power the machine up to more than 70mph. In a dash through his hometown of Leverkusen, the schoolboy reached 75mph before being stopped by police who say he was doing three times the speed limit, as well as making a huge noise.

He claimed that the speedometer only went up to 40mph and he had no idea he was going so fast.
