This is going to make life pretty hard for Max at Road Warriors Cafe.



Thanks to the extreme actions of a few, the Old Road is now under Police
surveillance.

Police plan a major blitz on motorcyclists speeding on the Pacific Highway.
POLICE plan a $750,000 blitz on speeding on the Pacific Highway after a
weekend in which motorcyclists turned it into a ``race track''.
In one instance police had to give up pursuit of three bike riders after they
hit speeds of 250km/h.
Brisbane Water highway patrol sergeant Gary Carr said police recently obtained
$750,000 to fund round-the-clock patrolling of the highway between Mooney Mooney
and Kariong during busy periods.
This may involve speed traps set up permanently over weekends.
Brisbane Water crime manager Chief-Insp Darren Bennett warned the practice of
riders using the Pacific Highway as their private ``race track'' had to stop.
``It's becoming an alarming trend and with warmer weather coming it is only
expected to get worse.''
``These speeds are more than reckless. They place the riders, but more
importantly, other motorists and the police in enormous danger.''
He said driving in a dangerous manner and at extreme speed meant an immediate
loss of licence and heavy fines.
Asked if police believed the offenders were professional or semi-professional
riders, Sgt Carr said: ``They were or else they were incredibly stupid.''
The sunny weekend saw hundreds of motorcyclists take to what is known in biker
circles as the ``old road'' between Mooney Mooney and Kariong through Mount
White.
