Dear Sir / Madam

The following article from Police media is a disgrace, you set up a
specific operation to target motorcyclists and you tell everyone how
pleased you are about it; have you bothered to look at the results?

You pull over 139 bikes, 17 riders speeding, (12% of riders speeding)

You pull over 58 motor vehicles of which 31 are speeding, (53% of
motor vehicles drivers other than bikes were speeding)

If you were specifically targeting motorcyclists then I would call
this operation a complete failure.

Why aren't you specifically targeting the 53% of all other road
user's who appear to be considerably more lawless as a group by your
own statistics?

Honestly, this is nothing more than a discriminatory demonstration of
ineptness by the NSW Police.

Regards
Steve Hughes

Highway Patrol officers on the Central Coast and the Roads and

During the operation the following results were obtained:

Vehicles stopped 58

Number of speeding motorcyclists 17
