The
rozzers are carrying out a big exercise this weekend in the Lothians
and Scottish Borders. They will be on motorbikes, cars and foot. ( the
latter to buy doughnuts)
Primary objective is to catch speeding bikers. The will be
conducting speed checks in Tweeddale areas using hand held radars plus
camera vans.
Wouldn't surprise me if also on unmarked bikes. Used to be VFR's, don't know what they have now.
Scottish Borders..... Total area ..... 1,800 square miles . Total population 110, 000 You can see that a couple of motorcycles travelling a few mph above the limit would cause absolute carnage.
No worries, they soon get bored and clear off somewhere else. Or perhaps we've got it all wrong and the police just want the place empty so they can have a hoon about undisturbed :-)
