Enjoy our national parks Dartmoor National Park - remember the speed limit is 40 mph. #moorcare Adverse wind warnings - excess of 46 mph⦠#arrivealive Vision Zero South West #opcosset
Our unmarked motorcycle was in South Devon again today. Here is an example of how not to ride. 80mph in a 40 limit, overtaking cars and riding on the solid whites. Would you do this? How would you judge the rider?

Another day on #opcosset and a motorcycle rider putting himself and others in danger on the A39 in Cornwall. Excess 100mph and crossing solid white lines.
Riding or driving like this will not be tolerated and the reason why we use Devon & Cornwall and Dorset Police Drone Team and motorcycles
Vision Zero South West
Unmarked Police Motorcycles were used in the South Devon area today enforcing the rules of the road. Here are two bikers who were caught. One of them was speeding at 60mph in a 40mph zone past the site of a recent motorcycle fatality.
