Subject: AA motorcycle patrols return

Author: Bob

[ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 05:23:24 04/02/08 Wed The AA is re-introducing motorcycle patrolmen in London, in an attempt to cope with congestion levels, which are making it “almost impossible” to get to breakdowns within promised time levels. The AA estimate the motorcycle patrols will cut peak breakdown waiting times by 25 per cent, from a current average of 50 minutes in central London. Three different types of motorcycle will be used. Two will be conventional petrol models: a 600cc Honda Silverwing and a 700cc Honda Deauville. In addition, the fleet will include four Vectrix electric motorcycles with zero emissions. Each motorbike will be ridden by a specially trained rider and the bikes have been modified to use all available space to carry the patrol's tool-kit, spares and a beacon light. The motorbike scheme could be rolled out to other cities if successful. [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ]
