Motorcycle cops needed

On Thursday coming from the west heading on the Audrey Jeffers Highway, I encountered the usual traffic from the Hasely Crawford Stadium all along Wrightson Road.

Like the good citizen that I am, I stayed in the lane and endured it, only to see the road hogs, who seem to be in more of a hurry than the rest of us, speeding along on the inside emergency lane to get a few car lengths ahead of the rest of us.

While this is dangerous to pedestrians as there is no pavement around the stadium, it is also not fair to us law-abiding citizens.

My simple recommendation is one motorcycle police officer stationed on the emergency lane.

I need not say another word to those with a brain in their heads.

The same thing happens heading west on afternoons on the foreshore by the lookout. Another officer is needed there. Just two officers, maybe three and that problem will be sorted out.

Surely, two or three officers can be spared to control this unmannerly and lawless situation that we have to put up with.

Oh, and by the way, I would like to suggest that the charge for such an offence, as trivial as it may seem to the offenders and others, should be hefty enough to discourage re-occurrences.
