Chief Constable Mark Polin's pathetic answer regarding bikers in The Daily Post

Biker speeding is at epidemic proportions on N Wales roads.

A reader asks the CC
Q What does Mr Polin intend to do about the influx of bikes that North Wales has to endure every weekend? We live on the A525, just past Bwlchgwyn on the Wrexham to Ruthin Road and we are constantly asking the police to do something about the speed of bikers that pass our home. On average a bike passes at speed every three minutes on Sundays in the summer and the danger this presents to residents leaving their drives is horrendous.

The Chief Constables slime ball answer to their predicament which in no way solves their or many others issues over the bikers. All our politicians cowardly hiding behind the sofa on this.

A North Wales has long been popular with motorcyclists. We use a mix of enforcement, engagement and education to try to ensure they use our roads sensibly and with respect for other users, as well as those who live alongside popular routes. We take a proportionate approach to enforcement, using unmarked cars and bikes on problematic routes, supported by our GoSafe speed enforcement vans. We also work with BikeSafe to get safety and consideration messages across to motorcyclists and together with our partners evaluate engineering solutions for our roads.

I'm pleased to be able to say that motorcycle casualty levels are down from 144 to 117, 18.75% down from January to September this year, compared with same period last year. Motorcyclists as a group are extremely vulnerable, and we will continue to target high-risk routes at various times of the day to deter inappropriate behaviour by all road users.

Penyffordd District quote. Casuality levels will be down due to less drivers using roads due to credit crunch. Note the Chief Constable is a biker. No policing of exhaust levels either. An FOIE on the amount of bikers caught speeding would be interesting to read.
