Police motorbike escort

You know when people have a toy run /egg run and the old billys ride along
with the group, stopping cars at junctions n lights so people can proceed
without stopping. If the coppers refuse to attend, is their anyone else
empowered to do do the same thing? The old billys have refused to help with
our local do, as some of the people involved are of dubious character and
they don't won't to be associated with them,,,, Any ideas who else can do
it. to stop 400 or so peeps from getting tickets for jumping red lights...

 

Just invite the HoG along, they'll do it without being asked, just
like they do, everywhere they go...

 

Road captain!

 

Just don't get him started on Paedophilia or the death penalty,
otherwise you'll be there for hours.

 

<snigger>

 

But if it saves the christmas of just one child...

 

No.

 

*Chortle*

 

Do you mean "No, no-one else is empowered to stop traffic" or "No,
no-one is empowered to stop traffic for your motorcycle run"?

 

Well, what I really meant is: "Nobody else likely to be on your toy run
is likely to have sufficient authority, and I don't know what other
people besides Plod are but this being ukrm can't be arsed to look it
up, and people who block roads for bike runs, however well-intentioned
and worthy they are, really irritate the tits off me, so I thought I'd
just try and dissuade you from doing it anyway, and save a lot of
grief."

 

<g> Is the right answer.

No.

My motorbike gets use to take me to work and back, then it sits in the shed.
A true commuter, just because I ride a bike to work and back 5 days a week,
I don't think my bike should act as a magnet for doo gooders to presume I
will give them my hard earned for their good courses. I sat in on a
conversation about the plod refusing to oblige the 'bikers' on the annual
charity run. Don't bother me none. I said get the RAC to do it?
If I want to give a few jam butties to starving kids I will do so in my own
time without a parade. It was just a question. I did go on the petrol demo
last year and that was full of coppers! Maybe our local 'bikers' should
combine the toy giveaway with a petrol protest. Then I'm sure they will get
an escort. Me I just commute, and at the moment its a tad cowd on t owd
knarred pinkies!

 

Oh. It's a northerner.

 

Those 400 people can stop themselves getting tickets for jumping red
lights by not jumping red lights.

now **** off

 

Coal in the bath.

Sorry, 'buth'.

 

Idiot.

Half the fun is getting stuck at lights so you've an excuse to chase
after the person half a mile ahead.

 

do they get a lot of C90s on these toy runs?

 

Billions, probably.

 

Why do you think that a lot of slow witted Charity Charlies deserve
that?
If they really want to help a cause make a standing order and support
a charity all year. Not just when their fancy getting their ugly mugs
on page 7 of some provincial free sheet.

 

IWHT that most kids want iPods these days.
