Avon and Somerset Constabulary are trialling some new police cars this summer as part of Project Safer Rider, check it out!

2. When it comes to police cars on the roads of Avon and
Somerset the last thing you expect to see the blues and twos
in is an Ariel Atom. However that is just what they have
acquired as part of the Tri Force Specialist Operations
Collaboration and Somerset Road Safety campaign, Project
Safer Rider.
What’s this all about?

3. Police Cars and Project Safer Rider
It may seem like the Ariel Atom is an odd choice for a police
car, but there is some method in their madness. With
superbikes on the roads reach speeds that most cars can only
dream of the police needed a police car with a little more
speed and less weight in order to be able to keep up with the
bikers.

4. Police Cars throughout the UK
The introduction of the Ariel Atom to the police fleet should
come as no surprise as police cars throughout the UK are
fairly diverse and different vehicles are used for different
purposes.
With small Ford Fiestas being used as patrol cars and typically
driven by Community Support Officers and unmarked Volvo
V70s having been in use by traffic officers, the addition of
another vehicle that is fit for purpose is something that was
inevitable.
