Today in the Northampton chronicle and echo
Big headline “speeding bikers will be targeted by new technology after one is clocked at 139mph”
The counties police force is currently using the latest technology to carry out Britons largest ever survey of motorbike speeds
Already one survey found 900 bikes travelling between 80-139mph. at this speed it would push the bikes stopping distance to a quarter of a mile
The number of people killed in motorbike accidents in Northamptonshire has risen from 90 in 2003 to 122 last year
At the end of this month the survey will be backed up by high visibility patrols on roads, which attract large numbers of bikers to catch those flouting the speed limits
Officers will target bikes that are being ridden irresponsibly and also illegal number plates
Officers using specially designed machines, which are laid in the road to measure motorbike speeds, are hoping the survey will give them the most detailed picture of bikers driving habits ever produced
So watch your back in Northampton
What do you reckon to the ¼ mile stopping distance quoted
