Hamilton investigated over motorbike selfie

WELLINGTON, New Zealand -- Police say they are investigating whether motor racing world champion Lewis Hamilton broke New Zealand law by filming himself with a mobile phone while riding a motorbike.

Hamilton, who is visiting New Zealand before traveling to the Australian Grand Prix, posted two videos to the Snapchat video sharing site apparently showing him riding a Harley Davidson motorcycle on an Auckland motorway. One shows him joining the motorway from an entry road and another shows him riding the motorbike before panning to show other traffic.
