Cops Get An Ariel Atom

I'd be amazed uf that got past a rozzer risk assessment :Woot:

 

hahaha thats ace. they have just blown a huge chunk of their budget on an anti speed-speed machine. they wont chase you anyway so whats the point? knobs

 

Or they could just use...er... a motorbike.
In fact, for that kind of money, a whole fleet of motorbikes.

 

Publicity stunt. The number plate tells you it's Ariel's car with decals and lights added for a photo opportunity.

Imagine the fall out if a biker died being chased by that. Even the most bike hating chief constable isn't that daft (although I could be wrong on that bit !)

 

The comments under the article shed some light on this and do make a little sense, I too would think this no more than a stunt, a stupid one at that. The pig is more likely to die chasing you than the other way round. Sorry about my strong description of the police but I am no real fan of the twats.:Snaphappy:

 

Saw the thread title and thought the cops were getting some sort of ultra strong detergent combined with a spring mist fresh fabric softener, which quite honestly would be a waste of tax payers money and is of no relevance to a motorcycle forum.

 

Neither has football!

 

If you read the post again you'll see I was taking the piss on the threat title, its an Ariel Atom not Atom Ariel, I associate the word Ariel with washing powder for some reason, must be my house husband occupation kicking in.

 

I meant the relevance part.

 

Does the dog just sit in the passenger seat, with its own googles.

 

Cool car and a nice bit of PR

 

Nice bit of PR and an incredible machine. One of the few cars that you have no chance against on a bike.

 

Publicity stunt, designed to get the public talking to Mr. Policeman. Much in the same way Devon and Cornwall Police have / had a Hardly in plod rig. Fair enough, I suspect it didn't cost them much if anything to buy and they used it for their r'Ride Safe' day thingyies.
