Better late than never... Mumbles Road -Swansea
« on: March 02, 2010, 10:51:04 AM »
On Sunday, when the big bright thingy was in the sky :scratch, I spotted a big blur of high vis parked by the playing fields on the Mumbles roads near the junction with Sketty Lane.

On closer inspection it was a bike cop with his hand held. seeing as I had an ice cream, I decided to sit on the grass on the otherside of the road and watch him for a bit. It was at this point I realised he was only lifting his hand held when a bike came towards him.  :handjob

Never seen plod on this stretch of road before, so keep your eyes peeld this spring!

I have this sneaking feeling that there may be a big push on this year to target bikers, and this is the plod not the tossers in the vans.  I think they may be trying to get a few high-end speeders into court to make an example of them like that poor sod in Scotland.  I don’t know, just call me paranoid but there seems to have been quite a few reports like this already this year. Once they start to bring the NSL down to 50 on A roads we are all f**ked. Maybe TW is right! :shocked
If you believe that load of old bollocks..........

there was a bike cop sitting pretty with a handheld at the top end of fabian way /m4 slip road this morning - just where there is an irresistable long stretch of road :tt could be they're targetting the main routes in/out of swansea

Ive emailed & invited South Wales Police to come on & post there views on WB
as of today I've still had no reply.
It would be nice to have their views on motorcycling in Wales & maybe they teach us a thing or two about riding techniques to make us safer riders.

I get the feeling I'm repeating myself  :scratch
Some say that his name is Rob and that he has another account on the forum and others know the REAL TRUTH
All you know is that he's called THE STIG

yup, he's there quite often. Pass the wreck daily and there's often cameras picking on lanes in both directions
