Thames Valley Police in the UK has launched a new safety and speed enforcement camera unit mounted on motorcycles. The initiative aims to target the 'Fatal Five' factors behind serious crashes and speeding in locations where conventional enforcement vans struggle to operate.
Hearing that speed enforcement is being stepped up makes me tense up a little, but the goal is to reduce serious accidents. Speed and inattention being major causes of accidents is something beginners especially should keep in mind. Not 'ride safe because there's enforcement,' but 'ride safe to protect yourself and others.' I hope this becomes a chance to think that way.

Is Thames Valley Police the force that covers the area around London?
Can't help suspecting that stepping up enforcement is at least partly aimed at boosting fine revenue too.
Would like the article to actually spell out what the specific 'Fatal Five' factors are.
Motorcycle police enforcing against motorcycles is actually efficient, since they can use their own mobility.
Targeting spots an enforcement van can't cover basically comes down to a hide-and-catch approach in the end.
Even if it means hiding, if it eliminates the causes of serious accidents, I think the goal itself is the right one.
Targeting enforcement specifically at the 'Fatal Five' is a genuinely reasonable idea.
