I'm a special escort group fanboi. Spent time being being taught to ride as a group escort.
Peds are fucking lemmings, have seen Peds run across a junction in to a motor bike holding the junction.
Also a few times, doing silly speeds on the west way A40 elevated section, with cars under taking and overtaking bikes with flashing blue lights.
They are assessed regularly, and they are the highest skilled riders. To be a bike cop you have to go through a lot of the training from car, pursuit and then to bikes. These aren't your regular plod drivers either.
Also went on track days with them, they taught me a lot of what I know about riding and driving.
