Hampshire and Isle of Wight police advise the number of people killed in motorcycle crashes has fallen by half since last year. The "dramatic" fall has been put down to an increase in patrols on known accident hotspots and the launch of a region-wide safety campaign.
Bikesafe co-ordinator Pc Mick Gear said: "There has been a remarkable drop in the number of motorcyclists that have been killed on roads across the two counties so far this year and we are pleased that our efforts appear to be working.
"What we mustn't do now is become complacent. Nine people have still died in motorcycle collisions this year and that is nine too many."
The main thing I notice here? Police patrols, not cameras, have been introduced. Co-incidence? I don’t think so. Add this to the recent announcement by the people that put speed cameras in place that the accident hot-spots are just moving away from where they place the cameras and it would appear to point towards a simple conclusion.
