Jordan was traveling at 87 to 89 mph just before the incident, according to a study of CCTV footage from shops on Park Hall Road,
Brian Lovatt, a forensic collision investigator with Staffordshire Police, testified before the inquest. On that stretch of road, the posted limit is 40 mph.
The damage to the lamppost suggests that the scooter was moving at a speed that was well beyond the posted limit, according to PC Lovatt.
Jordan’s helmet lacked a UK safety certificate, and the tint on the visor was too dark to be legal.
To be used in daylight, tinted visors must let at least 50% of light through; Jordan’s visor let through only 18% of the available light.
“Particularly in low light conditions, the amount of tint would have been a consideration. Riding would have been much more challenging given the restricted visibility.”
The morning of the accident there had been a frost, but it was determined that the road conditions had not been a factor.
The motor scooter itself was not insured, taxed, or equipped with an MOT certificate, and Jordan did not possess the necessary driving license to use it, according to evidence presented before the inquest.
The event involved only one vehicle.
