Norfolk Police – Operation Hawk – Think Bikes

Gary — Wed, 06 Apr 2011 08:59:57 +0000

According to statistics, in 2010, 10 motorcyclists were killed in Norfolk, 83 riders were seriously injured and 202 slightly injured. So Norfolk Constabulary Roads Policing Department, Norfolk County Council Casualty Reduction Section and the Safety Camera Partnership will be launching Operation Hawk for the fourth year.

They aim to reduce motorcycle accidents on Norfolks roads through advice, education and, when necessary, enforcement. In their fight to battle to reduce motorcycle casualties they’ll be using an undercover bike and marked vans. Police officers will visit popular motorcycle routes across Norfolk and attend motorcycle events to put over the message of “safe riding”. They will also be operating on weekends and evenings from April until September.

It does make you wonder out of the 10 motorcyclists killed, 83 riders seriously injured, 202 slightly injured, how many of these were teenage moped riders tearing up the local town centre with no gloves, boots or other protective equipment on their hairdryer mopeds?

Apparently, the undercover bikes to look out for is an unliveried black Honda VTR and dark coloured Yamaha FJR 1300 fitted with a camera in the fairing, recording equipment in the panniers, blues on the mirror stems and the rider wearing normal dark clothing and a plain white helmet. He wears no hi-visibility gear and no Police logos on the clothing. No need to worry about the unliveried undercover Yamaha R1, the rumour goes they wrote that off by hitting a truck.

Over 2000 entries were received by Motorsport Vision when they asked for the public’s opinion on corner names. The entries where considered before the final decision was made by MSV Chief Executive Jonathan Palmer.
