Three Police bikes in convoy, A65 yesterday

[Northernchimp]

On my way up the A1 yesterday and saw three police bikes (I think N Yorks constabulary), exited just before Wetherby, as did they then saw them intermittently up to Skipton just off the A65 when we went our seperate ways.

The standard of riding was appalling. Undertaking, three abreast, speeding, not indicating, tailgating. All from the people who police standards on the roads. At times it looked like they were deliberately intimidating car drivers.

I have never been so disgusted at the police in my life. Is there any point complaining, or should I just accept that we're bound by different rules to these morons, and that they answer to nobody? I don't get why they were riding in convoy over a 30 mile route (crossing a boundary from W Yorks into No Yorks too).

If they were riding so fast (including dangerous overtakes), how did you keep up over those 30 miles cross country?

Good question. They were going through the towns and villages, I stayed on the main road. They came up behind and passed me three times.
