Arrive Alive....sounds like Dickheads.

[nighthawk]

Arrive deprived is closer.

I wonder if the bikes will be clearly visable?

Range of laser zapper x concealed bike = screwed motorist

Well its not like you wont be able to see them!

Anyway, anyone notice how horribly one sided that article is?

Not North Wales, but, I've heard stories from two totally seperate sources recently that the police (dunno which force) are using motorbikes with cameras mounted around Crianlarich.
Anyone know anything about this?
E.g. What sort of kit?
Which force?
Do they stick to their own force area etc?
What roads are they using them on?

Anyone know anything about this? E.g. What sort of kit? Its gonna be a copper with a LTI probably. Only difference is they will be standing next to a bike not in a van. Time to dust off the SLD920X methinks... Which force? I imagine that when they figure out that it must cost less to deploy motorcycle based cash management systems they will do more of them Do they stick to their own force area etc? What roads are they using them on? Soon to be a lot of them, no doubt

"In 2003 the number of fatalities on roads targeted by Arrive Alive fell by 48% and the number of serious injuries recorded was cut by 37%".

Just a shame more people were killed on all the other roads.
