At the end of the chat, they gave us a pocket road map of the durham area, plus a sidestand puck each.

Proper policing.

What they didnâ€™t tell you was thereâ€™s a transmitter in the puck thatâ€™s GPS linked so now they know were you are and that youâ€™re speeding

Today i saw 2 bike cops up Loch Lomond , they were off their bikes at side road ,holding black kinda long clipboards,as if they were waiting to pull bikes in.
Possibly doing road awareness campaign.

Big article in MCN ablout Durham being by far the best Police for bikers, the local council refuse to install fixed speed cameras

Down here in Swindon they're taking the cameras down and putting up lots of radar speed awareness signs.

Hopefully people will stick to the limits in the built up areas at least.

I heard on RockFM that the strathclyde polis were running a campaign targeting new car drivers and bikers because of accident statistics etc, didn't say what was involved though.
