Protecting cyclists or policing them? Derbyshire Police is to go on more patrols in Peak District 'to ensure riders are keeping to speed limits and riding with care' cycling
Last week, the Derbyshire Constabulary announced a new campaign that involved more patrolling on the roads to make them safer, focusing on keeping cyclists and motorbike riders within speed limits and reduce dangerous behaviour, while also dealing with instances of bad driving, including close passes., called “Peak District patrols to protect bikers and cyclists”, was announced on 14 April, and was worded in a way that caught our attention.
To change this, the Derbyshire Constabulary wrote that it is going to spend “more time on our most rural roads, to ensure riders are keeping to speed limits and riding with care”. He said: “We’ll also be out talking to people and running stop checks to ensure our communities are using roads responsibly. And we will be recommending our BikeSafe course, which is a fantastic chance for motorbike riders to enhance their skills with instruction from our advanced police motorbike riders.”
They said: “As part of that operation, our officers will be patrolling in high visibility and plain vehicles on the key routes across the Peak District National Park looking for signs of bad driving including close passes.“Also, as part of Derbyshire Capture, we are continuing to encourage cyclists to submit evidence they gather of poor driving which we will use to either educate or prosecute drivers as a result.
