Constabulary’s Road Policing Co ordinator, said: “These latest figures are extremely disappointing when you consider all the hard work we have put in trying to educate motor
cyclists to' ride their machines in an appropriate manner.
“I t is quite obvious that too many
riders, many of them from out of the county, have been ignoring our pleas and riding their machines dangerous ly and often far too fast. “The casualties are an indictment
of this cavalier approach and we are determined to do more to educate the riders, and protect other road users as well. “Our attitude now is very much that enough is enough. We have done
our utmost to get across our safety message and really there can be no excuse for any motorcyclist riding too quickly or dangerously.” Chief Insp. Prince said that riders
must be made aware of their respon sibilities. In good hands, a motorcy
cle was a safe and convenient means of tran sp o rt. In others, it could become a lethal killing machine and it was irresponsible riders the police intended to target.
“The police appreciate that acci
