Un-marked Police bikes in Kent

Police riders are patrolling main biking routes in Kent and East Sussex on un-marked sportsbikes and deliberately encouraging riders to speed before pulling them over.

This is not new news but last Sunday, 13th June Police riders stooped to a new low!

They were out cruising around and (seemingly) innocently joining in with riding groups. Unsuspecting bikers where then caught on video speeding before getting pulled over and stuck on.

It’s a fact that anyone who rides a motorcycle will at some point exceed the legal speed limit and considerably, however if the Police were out in marked vehicles and joined in riding groups on marked Police bikes this would help reduce speed not encourage it.

The Officer who dealt with a friend of mine Sunday morning was a rude, pompous individual who was obviously taking great delight in what he had just caused.

We remained calm and polite and our questions as to why he was trying to race us and how he had encouraged us to go faster and faster just made him more angry.

So should you be unlucky and fall foul of this dirty trick do not expect any sensible advice or service from the guy writing the tickets!
