Police Action Camera

[Andy_Pagin]

I was watching one of these generic police voyeurisms over the weekend and this really made me laugh.

To set the scene, plod in a car following a biker. The bikers in position three, bang on the speed limit, checking his mirrors every second or so, ie. riding by the book. It's a small bike, probably a 125, but no L plates.

So plod decides the bikers probably a teenager who's not passed a test but ditched the L plates, and these kids "often ride illegally and anti-socially". So plod blips the siren, biker does a text book 'oslm' to the kerb & stops.

Plod swaggers up to him and smugly says "hello mate, you passed your full riding test?"

Biker says "yes, in 1954"

I fell off the sofa laughing.

Was there a bike test in 1954?

Ah, Mike will remember.

Yes there was although I waited until 1955 to take mine. I took it on a 1926 CS1 Norton that I used on the road and for vintage competitions. The examiner looked a bit sideways at the push-bike lights because it had no dynamo ( before the days of alternators) but eventually decided it was OK as it was 11 in the morning.
They made you ride round a circular route with the examiner dashing through the cross-streets to catch you unaware. There was an emergency stop which was the examiner jumping out from behind a parked car which I thought showed more dedication than sense.
